Norwich Public Utilities received approval for three water projects at the Norwich City Council Meeting Monday. The projects will cost a total of $13.6 million, and will be paid for by water revenues, and grants and loans from the state’s Clean Water Fund program. The completed projects are expected to have a 30-year life span, the agenda stated. An 8.5% increase to water bills is expected over a three-year period, but this project won’t impact it, NPU General Manager Chris LaRose said. The West Town Street Water Main rehabilitation includes the installation of cured-in-place pipe lining from the intersection of Yantic Road and West Town Street to the property located at 58 Yantic Flats Road, insertion pit excavation, installation of water main, and valves and fittings to modify existing connections. The PFAS system for the Norwichtown Well could either be an addition to the existing building, or a separate facility nearby. The Route 2 project includes the replacement of all galvanized or copper pipes along Route 2, the agenda states.
