EIE for Addional Source(s) of Water Supply for the University of Connecticut

Municipalities where project is proposed:  Mansfield and potentially Windham, Coventry, Tolland, Bolton, Manchester, East Hartford, South Windsor, and Vernon.

Project Description:  The University of Connecticut in association with the Town of Mansfield proposes to extend a source of potable water to Mansfield and Storrs to augment the University's water supply system to serve current and future needs.  This action involves extending water supply transmission piping and interconnecting with another supplier’s existing water system.  In particular, the additional water supply will: (1) enable the University to maintain adequate margin of safety in its public water system; (2) supply additional incremental demand to serve the proposed Technology Park on the University’s North Campus; (3) supply water demands in northern Mansfield in areas proximate to the University’s Main and Depot campuses; and (4) provide water supply for potential future on-campus University developments.
