Norwich Public Utilities will receive $1.6 million in federal grants to support two projects utility officials called critical projects, U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., announced Monday during a visit to NPU headquarters. The funding is part of the 2023 fiscal year federal budget signed into law in December, Blumenthal said, addressing a group of NPU employees. NPU will receive $800,000 through the Environmental Protection Agency for the Poquetanuck Cove Crossing Water Interconnection to connect with the Groton water system, and a second $800,000 to reline sewer mains in the Greeneville section of Norwich. Construction on both projects is expected to begin before Memorial Day with work likely completed before the end of 2023. “These projects will improve public safety and water quality in our region, while modernizing and upgrading our infrastructure,” LaRose said in the news release.
