Subject: FW: DEEP Order dated 1/25/18
Attorney Kepple, following through on our recent phone conversation, attached is a copy of an Order
signed by the Commissioner of the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection on January 25,
2018 and a covering letter signed by Assistant Director of Infrastructure Management on the same
date. As the cover letter notes, the Order “was issued in relation to the community pollution problem
identified in Old Lyme Shores Beach Association, Old Colony Beach Association and Miami Beach
Association”. Sections B. 1., 2. and 3. of the Order require East Lyme to enter into an agreement with
the beach associations ”to provide the beach associations with the ability to convey wastewater flows
through East Lyme’s wastewater collection system for final treatment at the WPCF in New London”.
As you can see, East Lyme did not voluntarily undertake to provide sewage transmission service to
the beach associations, and did so only when explicitly ordered by the DEEP. This is the same situation
as Point O’ Woods, where the DEEP insisted, by way of a similar Order, that East Lyme transmit Point O’
Woods’ wastewater flow for treatment in New London. To date, all of East Lyme’s “extraterritorial”
wastewater transmissions have resulted from DEEP Orders, and I strongly suspect that future
“extraterritorial” transmissions will also be forced upon East Lyme by way of DEEP Orders. I hope this
information alleviates any misconception Waterford may have regarding East Lyme’s activities beyond
its borders. Regards, Ed O’Connell.

RE: Various wastewater pumping stations - Flood insurance
Tali,
Regarding the flood insurance premium, the commission should be covering all operating expenses while the Town
covers capital to the town-owned buildings. The flood insurance premium is a cost that is considered operating.

Tali,
I reviewed the commission’s requests and have also contacted insurance carrier to raise some of the questions. Please
see the responses below in RED.

I have to research why the flood insurance was moved out of the Town budget and onto the commission. I’ll get back to
you with more data on why the changed occurred.

Subject: Various wastewater pumping stations - Flood insurance
Hi, Kim.
During the Utility Commission meeting of March 11, the commissioners asked me to discuss with you the following:
the possibility of [flood] insuring only the electronics at our stations.
The pump stations are in flood zones and must carry full insurance per law. We cannot only insure the contents
and/or electronics.
Shop around for better premiums.
Our insurance broker, HD Segur, quotes the flood insurance annually to various vendors and awards the
insurance to best quote on the premiums.
The attached graph, which I need to update, shows the stations that require flood insurance. Once the current situation
settles down and once the budget process is taken care – Can we get together and discuss flood insurance for our
pumping stations? Also, it has been the discussion among the commissioners that flood insurance should be the
responsibility of the town, same as any other insurance, including schools … since the buildings and the infrastructure is
owned by the town, not the utility commission. It was always that way until about three years ago. This is something
that we can talk about later on.
Thanks and be safe.

1 Projected revenue for FY 21.
2 Based on the last quarter (July billing) revenue for FY19, the figure of $895,000 was used to estimate the
last quarter of FY20. However, at this time, the effect of the current pandemic regarding water
consumption is unknown. It is expected that the July 2020 billing would be much less than $895,000. The
July 1st, 2020 billing is part of the revenues for FY 2020.
3 Note that the estimated revenue for FY20 could be skewed by our on-going aggressive collections
program; therefore, not necessarily representative of future revenues. See footnote 2.
