Mattabassett WPCF - March 2010

1. Notice of Scoping for the Mattabassett District Water Pollution Control Facility Upgrade

Municipality where proposed project would be located: Cromwell

Address of Project Location: 245 Main St., Cromwell

Project Description: The Mattabassett District Water Pollution Control Facility upgrade will allow the facility to meet its service requirements through 2030. This upgrade will provide for greater control of nitrogen removal and prepare for projected growth in the plant’s service area. Wastewater flow and pollutant loads to the plant are projected to increase by approximately 75% by 2030. This will be a consequence of growth due to allotments requested by the District’s member communities and contract communities and the planned connection of Middletown’s wastewater flows.
