Town of Waterford
Dear Moderator Goldstein:
Please consider placing Ch. 12.12, Jordan Park House, of the Waterford Code of Ordinances, in one of
the standing committees.
Section 12.12.020 should be amended. According to the First Selectman and the Director of Public
Works, the Recreation & Parks Commission is no longer responsible for the “servicing and maintenance”
of the Jordan Park House. It is apparently now under the jurisdiction of the Public Works Department.
Also, Section 12.12.030, Scheduling use, should be eliminated since the building is no longer open to the
public.
Thank you for your interest.
Sincerely,
Robert Nye

FROM: Ryan McNamara, Director of Recreation and Parks
RE: Leary Park Phase II Funding Designate to Appropriate
I am writing to formally request that designated funds currently earmarked for Leary Park
Access Road & Drainage (Line Item#20537-57735 in the amount of $20,000) be released from
designated to appropriated to support plan development for drainage assessments and
accessibility improvements to the lower portions of Leary Park.
The expected completion of the Town Wide Court Repair funding for Leary Park is July 2025.
This project accomplished the repair of outdated court surfacing and supplied access paths to
both basketball and pickleball/tennis courts. The remainder of the lower park requires a plan to
determine proper drainage, emergency access/accessibility to the lower fields and parts of the
park. The plan will allow the Town boards to determine the costs associated with the
improvements and the ability to schedule funding.
Given the critical nature of these improvements and the importance of maintaining the park as a
fully accessible recreational asset, the Department seeks to initiate a comprehensive review and
begin prioritized planning and implementation.
e Conduct updated site analysis on the lower areas of the park
e Begin preliminary work to address any access deficiencies
e Provide appropriate drainage plans
I respectfully ask for your support in facilitating this transfer and appreciate your continued
commitment to the well-being and accessibility of our public spaces.
Please let me know if additional documentation or formal action is required to process this
request. Thank you for your attention to this important matter.

4000 HARTFORD TURNPIKE
a mA OF 00
WATERFORD, CT 06385
August 28, 2025
Mr. Rob Brule, First Selectman
Town of Waterford Town Hall
15 Rope Ferry Road
Waterford, CT 06385
Dear Mr. Brule, —
The Utility Commission respectfully requests the following appropriations of funds identified
within the FY26 Capital Plan:
1. The Utility Commission respectfully requests an appropriation of the funds currently
designated within L.I. # 20531-57881, Plastic Water Service Line Replacement in the
amount of $200,000.
2. The Utility Commission respectfully requests a designation and appropriation of the
funds identified in the First Selectman’s plan for the General Fund Balance for Plastic
Water Service Line Replacements for FY26 in the amount of $500,000.
There are approximately 7900 water services in Town, many of which are plastic and
have exceeded their useful life resulting in unaccounted for water loss and degradation to
the Town roads. The goal of this program is to replace the aging plastic water services
with copper line prior to DPW paving the roads. Since the start of this cooperative project
with DPW 806 water service lines have been investigated, of those 229 water service
lines were found to be plastic and replaced totaling 5,218 linear feet. In FY26 the DPW’s
updated paving plan has identified several roads scheduled to be repaved, within these
roads lie approximately 376 water services, of those approximately 165 may need to be
replaced, as the material type is unconfirmed, Service line replacement costs are on
average $4100 each depending upon the service line length and location, typically we are
finding about 30 percent of the unconfirmed service material types are plastic and require
replacement.
3. The Utility Commission respectfully requests an appropriation of the funds currently
designated within L.I. # 20531-57894, Cross Country Sewer Main Access in the amount
of $200,000.
Sewer mains collect wastewater from our Town’s parcels and convey this wastewater to
downstream pumping stations via a vast network of piping and pumping stations to a
point terminating at the Main pumping station, which then conveys the wastewater to the

Mr. Rob Brule, First Selectman Page 2
regional treatment facility in New London. Of the Town’s 150 miles of sewer piping,
approximately 15.6 miles lie within cross-country easement areas, which are outside of
roadways. Many of these sewer mains traverse through heavily wooded cross-country
easement areas, which are becoming more challenging to access. Accessibility is crucial
in order to conduct a full assessment evaluation and to provide timely access to conduct
immediate or corrective repairs to the sewer main or structures. The goal of this project is
to recreate the original easement access areas along all of our cross-country mains or
create alternate access points.
Contract #1 was the Town's very first sewer construction project, which began in 1970.
This project entailed the installation of approximately 13,000 linier feet of sewer main. A
Special Appropriation in the amount of $250,000 for engineering services was
appropriated for the Contract #1 Sewer Main Access project in 2023. Survey work to
identify the Contract #1 easement area, manholes, intersecting property lines, and other
utilities within the easement area commenced in October of 2023 and was completed in
the spring of 2024. The final design package (drawings and specifications) to be used for
contractor bid solicitation and construction for Phase One of the restoration project was
granted by the Utility Commission at the November 2024 meeting. Phase one
encompasses the southern section of the interceptor beginning at the intersection of Great
Neck Road and Rope Ferry Road to the end of the interceptor at Evergreen Avenue Pump
Station, Phase two which encompasses the northern section of the interceptor from
Boston Post Road to Great Neck Road requires the acquisition of additional easements to
gain access to the interceptor during restoration and for the Utility Commission staff in
the future. Splitting the project into two Phases allows restoration work to begin while
easements are procured, so that once Phase one is complete easements will be in place
and Phase two can begin shortly thereafter. Our engineering firm estimates construction
costs up to $288,600 for Contract One Restoration, there are funds available under LI #
33123-55019 for this project in the amount of $147,200. Phase one went out to bid on
August 18" and bids will be opened on September 19", and construction will begin as
soon as the designated funds are made available in October provided the bids do not
exceed the available funds.
4. The Utility Commission respectfully requests an appropriation of the funds currently
designated within L.1, # 20531-57895, Water Tank Management in the amount of
$46,222.00
The Town of Waterford owns three water storage tanks, the 750,000 gallon Fargo Tank,
the 300,000 gallon Vauxhall tank and the 1.25 Million gallon Rogers Hill tank. In 2024
the Fargo Road Tank refurbishment project was completed; prior to this renovation, the
Fargo Road water tank had its original coat of paint, which had far exceeded its useful
life expectancy by approximately 10 years. This work was necessary to preserve the
Town’s significant investment in its infrastructure and to extend the life of its asset; if
routine maintenance of infrastructure is ignored, it turns into an emergency capital
investment and typically costs three times that of routine maintenance. If this tank had
not undergone the recent rehabilitation, the structural integrity of the tank would have
eventually failed, requiring that the tank be replaced at a significant cost to the Town.
Many municipalities do not realize the financial investment they have in their water
. Storage tanks. These key municipal water distribution system components often receive

Mr. Rob Brule, First Selectman Page 3
the least attention and yet, they can potentially experience serious issues without proper
tank asset management. Contamination from animals or debris, corrosion and other issues
can trigger customer complaints, municipal regulatory compliance violations and costly
water distribution service disruptions. A Water Tank Management Program for these
valuable assets would preserve the significant investment the Town has made in water
storage tanks by guaranteeing routine inspections a
