Municipality where project is proposed: New Hartford

Project Description: The Town of New Hartford has conducted a facilities planning study for its wastewater treatment system because the wastewater treatment plant’s average flow has exceeded ninety percent of its design capacity, the facilities that were built in 1968 have exceeded their design life, and projected growth patterns will extend into unsewered areas.  The study area includes the treatment facility, areas next to the public water supply, industrial parks, known growth areas, and a proposed development corridor along the western side of Route 44.  The recommendation of the study is the expansion of the wastewater treatment plant from 90,000 gallons per day to 400,000 gallons per day and will include advanced treatment to protect water quality and meet the requirements of the anti-degradation policy for the Upper Farmington River. This EIE is an update from the one previous noticed and published in February 2006 for a design flow of 250,000 gallons per day.
