Tylerville Water Main June 2017
2. Notice of Scoping for the Tylerville (Haddam) Water Main Extension
Project Title: Water Main Extension
Municipalities where proposed project might be located: Haddam and Chester
Addresses of Possible Project Locations: Route 154/ Middlesex Turnpike in Chester and Route 154/ Saybrook Road in Haddam; Bridge Road, Little Meadow Road, Camp Bethel Road, Bethel Lane, South Side Bluff, Bridge Lane, and Brookes Court in Haddam.
Project Description: The Town of Haddam is seeking to extend the Connecticut Water Company's public water main from its current terminus on Route 154 at Denlar Drive in Chester. The water main would extend north along Route 154 approximately 2 miles to Tylerville Village in Haddam where groundwater contamination has polluted 18 residential drinking water wells above the Department of Public Health's Drinking Water Action Levels. The Department of Energy and Environmental Protection has studied the groundwater pollution in Tylerville and identified contaminated and at-risk properties. DEEP has determined that the 8-inch minimum pipe size is the preferred alternative to provide a reliable, long-term source of potable water to the area based on the extent and persistence of the pollutants and the resistance of one pollutant to carbon treatment. Fire hydrants will be installed along the water main as determined by the Towns and Connecticut Water Company.
