1. Notice of Scoping for Nathan Hale System Main Extension to Plains Road
Address of possible location: South Street Extension, Coventry from approximately the intersection of Upton Drive to Plains Road.
Municipality where proposed action might be located: Coventry
Project Description: The project will install a water main extension to serve five single family residences served by private wells located on Plains Road which are experiencing polluted groundwater. This will be accomplished by extending a total of 5,015 FT of 6-inch water main from the existing Nathan Hale System of the Connecticut Water Company. This will eliminate the private wells that are known to have high levels of Sodium and Chloride on Plains Road. This project could also serve to provide private well owners on Plains Road with an opportunity to connect to public water.
