East Side Pressure Zone Improvements
3. Notice of Scoping for East Side Pressure Zone Improvements
Municipality where proposed project might be located: Southington
Address of Possible Project Location: Flanders Road
Project Description: The Southington
Water Department (SWD) proposes to install 1,350 feet of 12 inch water main in
Flanders Road and Pattonwood Drive as part of the first phase of a pipe looping
project proposed as additional work to the East Side Storage Tank and Pump
Station project. The Scoping Notice for
the East Side Storage Tank and Pump Station Project was originally published in
the Environmental Monitor on January 20, 2015 and a Post-Scoping Notice was
published on March 17, 2015. This looping project, when completed, will
eliminate a dead-end water main on Flanders Road.
Southington is proposing to construct 4,800 feet of new water main in phases to create a loop to connect the Flanders Road main to the main on Shuttle Meadow Road. This loop would connect the East Side Pressure Zone to the West Queen Street pressure zone. The loop would improve Southington’s water system in the following ways:
- Eliminate the dead end and associated water quality concerns on Flanders Road by allowing water to cycle back down to the West Queen Street pressure Zone
- Eliminate the need for flushing at the end of Flanders Road
Provide redundancy to backfeed the West Queen Street pressure zone from the East Side Pressure Zone in the event of a water main break or other emergency
