OLD LYME — A week after Selectman Jim Lampos publicly warned that all taxpayers could face millions in costs if voters approve the sewer project in the beach area, the head of the Water Pollution Control Authority is pushing back on his math. Steve Cinami, chair of the Water Pollution Control Authority, took aim Wednesday at the methodology Lampos used to project potential municipal liability. “They misled by indicating the assessed value would be $62,413, when in reality it is almost half that,” Cinami told CTExaminer. The main critique was that Lampos’ calculations included financing interest, which Cinami argued should not factor into the betterment assessment — the amount property owners are charged for infrastructure improvements.
