1. Notice of Scoping for Middlebury Commons Interconnection with Connecticut Water Company Naugatuck Region - Central System
Address of possible location: Nutmeg Road into Middlebury Commons Condominium Complex
Municipality where proposed action might be located: Middlebury
Project Description: The work to be performed under this project includes abandoning the drinking water wells at Middlebury Commons and consolidating their small public water system with Connecticut Water Company's Naugatuck Region - Central System. The current infrastructure that provides water to Middlebury Commons is aged and lacks redundancy that is causing increasing risk of extended periods without potable water to residents of the condominium community. The project would require installing approximately 460 feet of 6” water main (8” if a fire hydrant is needed) from Connecticut Water Company's existing water main on Nutmeg Road, providing an easement to Connecticut Water Company, connecting each building to the water main, and abandoning the existing drinking water wells.
