After getting voters’ approval last month to fund the $12.3 million Bergstrom Well and Water Treatment Plant project, Bethel secured $2.24 million in federal funding thanks in part to the efforts of U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal, who stopped by Clifford J. Hurgin Municipal Center Tuesday morning to discuss the project. The recently awarded federal funding for the project includes a $1.6 million grant toward the facility’s construction and a $640,000 grant to help pay for the plant’s supervisory control and data acquisition system. Construction of the water treatment facility is budgeted at nearly $10 million. The remainder of the $12.3 million approved for the project includes roughly $1.8 million for professional services, $499,000 for contingency and $16,000 for legal fees, according to the town.
