1. Notice of Scoping for Cedar Ridge Apartments Public Water Interconnection
Municipalities where proposed action might be located: Willington and Mansfield
Addresses of possible location: Burt Latham Road and Baxter Road
Project Description: The Cedar Ridge Apartments Public Water System serves the 100-unit Cedar Ridge Apartments in Willington. The public water system submitted a feasibility study to the Department of Public Health (DPH) with alternatives proposed to resolve ongoing water quantity and quality issues and to upgrade its aging infrastructure. The study identified an interconnection with Connecticut Water Company (CWC) as the most cost-effective, long term option.
Cedar Ridge Apartments Public Water System proposes to install 2,500 feet of water main to interconnect with CWC’s 8-inch water main on Baxter Road in Mansfield. A meter pit is proposed to be installed in Burt Latham Road where the two public water systems will be joined. Upon interconnection with CWC, Cedar Ridge Apartments public water system will abandon of all of its public drinking water wells due to low yields and poor water quality and will discontinue use of its aging pump station and hydro pneumatic storage tanks.
