2. Notice Of EIE For Chester Sanitary Sewer
Municipalities where project is proposed: Chester and Deep River
Project Description: A planning study was conducted to evaluate existing conditions and future needs of the Town of Chester’s village area, the associated problems involving failing septic systems, the ability to effectively treat wastewaters using its current community subsurface disposal system, and alternative approaches. The study has recommended abandonment of the community subsurface disposal system and connection into the Town of Deep River’s collection system as the cost-effective long-term solution. Wastewaters from the village area will be collected and transferred to the sewer collection system in the Town of Deep River by gravity sewers, a force main, and an existing pump station. The connection with the Deep River collection system will occur at the intersection of Middlesex Avenue (RT 154) and Winter Street located in Deep River. Sewer construction is proposed on the following roads; Main Street, Maple Street, and Middlesex Avenue (RT 154).
