OLD LYME — After a number of postponements, the Board of Selectmen is expected on Monday to call a Dec. 16 referendum to approve additional borrowing to fund the construction of sewers on the shoreline. The new price tag, $19,321,565, more than doubles the amount originally approved in a 2019 referendum but the state is expected to cover 47% of the cost through grants and forgivable loans from the Clean Water Fund. Old Lyme Water Pollution Control Authority Chair Steve Cinami told CT Examiner on Friday that he estimated the cost at about $3,100 per year per EDU, a calculation used to assign each sewered property a share of the total project cost. That’s about $300 more expensive than the last estimate by an outside accountant hired by the town.
