A02436 
  
Dear Matthew Pinch:  
 
CIRMA insures the Town of Waterford. We acknowledge receipt of the above stated General Liability 
loss which you submitted for costs incurred to clean a clog which resulted in a sewer back up. CIRMA 
is obligated to review the claim to determine whether there is coverage and liability for the claim.  
 
Based on the information received, we have determined that our insured, the Town of Waterford, is 
not legally responsible for the costs incurred for clearing of the line. This incident was a result of an 
unforeseen occurrence in the main line of the sanitary sewer. In order for a claim to be considered, 
the City must have acted negligently. Information received finds that the blockage was caused by the 
toilet paper, wipes and other forms of waste in the main line. In Connecticut, the burden of proof lies 
with the claimant and therefore the claimant must prove the City acted negligently. 
 
CIRMA’s decisions are based on the applicability of statutory immunities available to Connecticut 
Municipalities as well as the Codes and Ordinances of the Town of Waterford. 
 
Should you have any questions or concerns regarding the above decision, please feel free to contact 
me at your convenience. 
 
Sincerely, 
 
David Loomis

Tali, 
Please see the attached denial. I am surprised that this claim was denied, as the problem was without question within 
the Towns ROW. 
I entertain that the reimbursement be paid from our budget. 
What are your thoughts?

Monthly Operating Report 
New London, Ct. 
December 2020 
The report covers the period from December 1, 2020 to December 31, 2020 
1.
New Business
a.
Operations - All Water and wastewater operations were within permit compliance throughout this
monitoring period. Nitrogen removal for the year averaged 269 lbs/day vs. our limit of 386
lbs/day.
b.
Storm water work continues with 15 Catch Basins cleaned during this month leaving 684 cleaned
since January 1, 2020. ln total, the New London Storm Water system contains around 1,700 catch
basins. For 2020, approximately 40% of the City's catch basins were cleaned.
c.
At the year's close, all cross connection and backflow requirements have been met.
d. The road crew had a very busy month being called out 18 times for Main and service breaks
e.
The Capital Crew spent the majority of the month hammering out rock, and clearing additional
roadway leading up to Barnes Reservoir. There is a small amount of clearing left to do in January,
at which time the crew will move on to clearing right-of-ways. In the Spring, when the ground
frost clears, we will resume laying gravel and rolling the finished grade on the Barnes Road.
f.
As COVID cases surge throughout New London, only 3 employees have tested positive to date.
All have returned to work with no ill effects. Veolia continues to require each employee to be in
separate vehicles to reduce the possibility of COVID spread; therefore we have extended the rental
of four additional pickup trucks for another month.
Monthly summary for accounts in legal decreased this month by $10,000 lowering the amount to $944,870. The 
amount of customers paying on-line increased to our highest level of 3 9% this month.

Rob, 
 
We held a very positive negotiation session yesterday with the key representatives from Waterford, New London (Barry 
Weiner), East Lyme (Mark Nickerson) and the respective  professional staffs.  Following is a summary: 
 
The current agreement 6 month extension, Bridge Agreement, has been implemented which gives all parties some 
breathing room to complete the negotiations for the New Agreement.  I anticipate being able to complete the New 
Agreement no later than April, 2021 which will leave adequate time for formal reviews and approvals by the individual 
town governments and chief executives before the July deadline. 
 
The term of the New Agreement is set at 20 years with the option to extend it for another 10 years.  At the 10 year point 
the agreement can be reopened only to negotiate modifications to the allocation of the 10 million gallon per day 
treatment capacity.  Treatment allocations in the new Agreement are set at NL 55%, Waterford 30% and EL 15%.These 
allocations are important as costs are allocated by these percentages or by actual flows in some situations. 
 
Capital Accounts will be established for each town and held by New London Finance.  The minimum cumulative total of 
all three town accounts will initially total $3,333,333, this to be increased by 2% annually for inflation. Each town has the 
responsibility to maintain its proportionate share of the Capital Account total.  That is NL (55% or $1,833,333), 
Waterford (30% or $1,000,000) and EL (15% or $500,000). Initial funding of each Capital Account will be from existing 
monies residing in the $8.1 Capital Account total from the Old Agreement. Residual funds will be held individually as a 
contingency. 
Funds from the Capital Accounts will be used to pay for capital improvements to the treatment facility costing in excess 
of $50,000. Capital improvements will be funded utilizing the 55%/30%15% formula.  A very detailed procedure for 
allocation and expensing of Capital Funds has been established and is part of the New Agreement. 
 
Sewer flow metering has been resolved and all meters will be calibrated and certified annually by one vendor and 
managed by NL. Metering results will be reported to all three towns. 
 
Evergreen Pump Station cost sharing will be based on metered flows and billed to the respective towns annually by 
Waterford.  Evergreen Pump Station to Treatment plant infrastructure cost sharing will also be based on metered flows.  
This detailed process and the billing procedure is under development and it is expected to be available for review in 
February. 
 
Our plan is to have the detailed draft of the overall New Agreement available to review at our next negotiation 
scheduled for February 18, 2021.  At that time the draft will be turned over to Atty. Nick Kepple for word smithing 
followed by review and comment by the other town attorneys. The professional staffs will continue to meet weekly.
