2. Notice of Scoping for New Hartford Wastewater Treatment Facility Upgrade

Municipality where proposed project would be located: New Hartford

Project Description: The Town of New Hartford is conducting a wastewater facilities planning study for an upgrade of its wastewater treatment system.  The study is being conducted because the wastewater treatment plant’s average flow has exceeded ninety percent of its design capacity, the facilities that were built in 1968 have exceeded their design life, and projected growth patterns are extending into previously unsewered areas.  The study area, depicted in the linked figure, includes the treatment facility, the proposed development corridor along Route 44 and streets adjacent to public water supply wells.  The study also includes an infiltration and inflow evaluation of the existing sewers.
