The Environmental Protection Agency Region 1 awarded the Connecticut Department of Public Health a $364,000 Formula Grant under the Water Infrastructure Improvements for the Nation Small and Underserved Communities Emerging Contaminants Grant Program (CFDA 66.442) for the period of August 1, 2022 through July 31, 2025. The grant funding will support activities to install new water main and a drinking water pumping station for the Town of Montville, Connecticut. Specifically, the project involves constructing an emergency interconnection between two divisions of the Southeastern Connecticut Water Authority's public water system and a new pumping station to provide adequate water pressure and supply during drought periods and peak summer usage. These infrastructure improvements are necessary for the small, disadvantaged community to comply with the Safe Drinking Water Act.
