2. Notice of Scoping for Lake Konomoc Intake Pump Station - Phase 2

Municipality where proposed project might be located: Waterford

Address of Possible Project Location: 1153 Hartford Turnpike

Project Description: The City of New London proposes to construct an emergency intake pump station at the Lake Konomoc site, adjacent to its Lake Konomoc Water Treatment Plant.  The intake pump station has been designed to operate under flow conditions equal to that of the existing water treatment plant, which pumps at an average flow rate of 9 MGD of raw water and has a peak capacity of 12 MGD.

The Lake Konomoc Intake Pump Station project was divided into two phases in March 2002 in order to fast track the project in response to a contemporaneous water supply emergency.  Phase 1 of the project involved the installation of the stainless steel, passive intake screen and 36-inch HDPE intake pipe project and was completed in May 2003.  Phase 2 will consist of the construction of the permanent intake pump station structure, and the lying and connection of the discharge pipe to the existing water treatment plant.
