Fiscal Year 2023
Town of Waterford
pening Statement
Building new is easy, to maintain is difficult, but not impossible
The focus for Public Works is to maintain our roads, our Fleet and Mobile Equipment, manage
the collection and disposal of solid waste and equally important focusing on
Achieving a high level of customer service
Excellent information management
Compliance with enviromental operating permits
Ability to respond to emergency management incidents
The four Divisions of Public Works are:
Administration
Briefly, the division manages and accounts for our assets, manages personnel, prepares the
Captial Improvement Plan, plans for emergency management and diaster mitigation and
incorporates sustainable practices into public works practices.
Highway Operations (...it is not just the asphalt...)
It is important for the residents to have well-maintained roads to ensure that traffic flows as
smoothly and safely as possible. In order to accomplish this, the Department mixes in-house
vith contracted work to provide a cost effective delivery of services.
Solid Waste
The collection and transportation of waste and recyclables to disposal sites and the operaton of
the Transfer Station and the closed landfill all fall under this division.
Equipment Maintenance
This division’s skilled mechanics perform services and reparis from the simple $125 weed
wacker to the $390,000 automated collection truck.

Public Works
Fiscal Year 2023
Town of Waterford
Budget Function
The budget is what is required to maintain the infrastructure. It is an operations budget with little
flexibility. The Department is obliged to pay bills for water, waste disposal, environmental
permitting and repairs. The roads must get plowed, diseased trees removed and our drainage
systems kept clear.
New this year:
You will see this year a change in the Public Works budget format in the personnel area.
The number of personnel has not increased, it is just how we account for where our
personnel are tasked to work. Previous budgets lumped all personnel wages, FCIA, etc.
under 51520 Highway operations. It did not separate out the personnel needed for the
collection routes (5 Drivers) or for the operation of the transfer station (3 Maintainers).
This year, Refuse Collection and Maintenance 51530 will not only identity all the effort for
collection, it will include the effort for the curbside collection of bulky waste and leaves by
assigning a personnel cost to this effort.
The services that the Southeastern Connecticut Regional Resources Recovery Authority
(SCRRRA or the Authority) provides to its members will remain the same for FY 23. The
one service fee charged by the Authority, the tipping fee for municipal solid waste
(garbage) will increase by $1.25/ton from $58 to $59.25/ton, the first increase since 2004.
The fee to handle the recyclables will continue to be absorbed by the Authority. All other
services are provided at no cost to the Town.
This year the accepted road network increased by 1,600 linear feet. The Town last
accepted roads into our network in 2011. Sea View Terrace and Kathryn Court will be
added to our snow removal, waste collection and sweeping routes. Impact to the
maintenance effort will be minimal as these are new roads.
We clean out catch basins by using the services of a contractor who supplies the
employees and equipment. We have moved this effort to 52030 Professional Fees to
better reflect the process. Previously it was under 52510 Rental of Equipment.
New Equipment:
$9,272 for a vehicle alr conditloning service unlt that supports the newest refrigerant (R-
1234YF) that is found in all 2019 to present vehicles in the Town’s fleet.
$820 for a new set of 60” forks for H1. Currently that machine has a pair of 48” forks, but
limits the machine’s ability to adequately load and unload vehicles.
$12,041 for the department to purchase a zero turn mower. This would allow the
department to maintain the grounds here at the complex and to assist in roadside
mowing of certain areas in town.
$12,000 for Production Equipment Co., to extend the maintenance shop’s overhead
bridge crane. Per the building print, the bridge crane is listed as a 40’ X 40’ overhead
bridge crane, only allowing 28’ X 32’ of usage. This impacts our ability to fully utilize the
entire space for bay 1 $2. Many of our tasks require use of the crane in which creates
tying up bay 1 & 2 for extended periods of time creating backups. Extending the bridge
crane would increase our working abilities to 38’ X 32’.
Replacements:
Cart replacements run in cycles and we are in the middle of one. The older carts after
years of being grabbed and squeezed are failing. We run the carts to failure instead of a
planned replacement. Typically, the Department had budgeted for 300 recycling and

Public Works

Town of Waterford
garbage carts to be purchased each year. That would cover some being sold to new
residents or residents who need additional carts and the remainder to replace carts that
were damaged by the “grabber”. The grabber must tightly hold the cart has it is lifted and
turned upside down. Years of the squeeze and sunlight causes the walls of the cart to
become bridle and crack. These carts are replaced at no charge. We are experiencing
an uptick in cart replacements due to the age. The carts were first placed into the system
25 years ago. These initial carts are beyond the end of their service life. Currently we
have over 8,430 recycling and 11,570 garbage carts in the system. While we make
repairs to lids and wheels, when the body breaks, we must replace the entire cart.
Stressors on the Budget:
Facilities Department has placed an additional burden on the resources in the Public
Works Department. Back office operations such as work orders, invoices, contracts and
projects were transferred to Public Works without additional office support.
Prices for products and services are not stable. Projecting costs that cover the next 12
months is difficult.
Environmental permitting with its 14 permits in 5 major areas require reporting and
inspections. We will not be compliant with the General Permit for Stormwater (MS4) by
July 1, 2022. It is estimated that to finish the work would be in the neighborhood of
$110,000. The budget request will only support % of that amount. It is unknown how the
DEEP will react to Town not meeting the deadline, but it is anticipated that Towns that
have made a good faith effort will not be actively pursued.
Capital Improvement Program with its backlog of approved funded projects and the need
of staff to project manage the contracts.
The last two years we have grossly under budgeted the vehicle repair line. Years of
vehicle replacement deferments on key public works equipment is driving the repair costs
up. The pieces of equipment that this affects most are the large pieces used in waste
collection, trucks used for snow removal and street sweeping. The increase in cost of
repair parts also has affected this line item.
Issues that can’t be resolved with simple actions are becoming the norm. The easy
issues has been completed. Civil engineering services are often needed to solve these
concerns generated by the citizens.
Over the next several years, the tree work will far exceed our current resources.
Contracting out this service when there is a high demand from the private sector is not an
option during this time period.
Street lighting — Now that we are out of the warranty period, repairs now must be
budgeted. This includes the cost of Eversource to disconnect/connect the fixture to their
power lines.
Utilities: (Street Lights, Traffic Signals)
The Finance Department has entered into a 5 year fixed price for the purchase of electricity. Our
current rate was $.0781/kwh. The new rate is $.0919/kwh, a 16% increase. This is for
generation only. Transmission rate (Eversource) will be set in early 2022, so any impact to the
budget is unknown.
Vaste:
Solid Waste/Recyclables: The Public Works Department provides the containers and
collection services. The tipping fees increased 2.1%.

The postage requirements of Public Works have typically been for daily correspondence, mailing of
equipment bid packages and bid correspondence and confirmation of Bulky Waste appointments. We
also mail notices of projects to all residents adjacent to a construction site. 
This allows for greater
awareness of project schedules and potential impacts to residents.

52030 Professional Fees:
This appropriation as requested is to provide professional support to the Public Works function. In all
projects, certain specific technical review is required to be provided from this appropriation as follows:
We are requesting a $1,000 appropriation for appraisals of easements. These have not been
called for often in recent years, but this request is to budget for the possible expense that may
be incurred. Also, as we continue to investigate and locate our stormwater system, older
locations may require the Town to secure a drainage easement. 
$ 1,000
Employment Physicals & Random Drug/Alcohol testing- New employees and seasonal
employees are provided a physical prior to starting work with the Town. Random drug and
alcohol testing is performed on a quarterly basis for employees that hold 
a Commercial Drivers
License (CDL). (Federal Requirement) 
$ 5,800
Engineering/Architectural Fees and general on-call services - The Town has in place several on-
call consultants that departments use for multiple services. 
$ 40,000
Catch Basin Cleaning: For several years, we have been supplementing our catch basin cleaning with a
contractor supplied crew and rental vacuum truck. This has proven to be an invaluable and effective
method in meeting the MS4 permit requirements. There are approximately 3200 catch basins, of
which, 3,000 are under this mandate. The plan is to contract the cleaning of approximately 1,000 catch
basins each year. Violation of the General permit may result in penalties of up to $25,000 per violation,
per day. In FY22 the cost per basin increased to $23.00/each.

Fiscal Year 2023
Town of Waterford
MS4 Permit Compliance — Since 2004, the Town has been in compliance with general permit for Municipal
Separate Storm Sewer Systems (MS4). We have cleaned out basins, swept streets, and have completed yearly
storm water quality testing of discharge points. As part of the 2004 permit, we had inspected and mapped the
majority of the stormwater system, which consists of miles of pipe, catch basins, and hydrodynamic separators,
conducted employee training on best management practices for maintenance operations and held quarterly
stormwater committee meetings to review compliance to the permit. The Town now falls under the new general
permit (effective July 2017) with expanded requirements.
The MS4 General permit mandates the Town to develop, implement and enforce best management practices
(BMP’s) for the six Minimum Control Measures. BMP’s are defined for each Minimum Control Measure. For the
six minimum control measures, the Town has identified 38 BMP’s. One of the largest impacts is that the permit
requires the Town to implement a screening and monitoring program for all outfalls that discharge to impaired
waters as defined in the most recent Connecticut Integrated Water Quality Report. The Town must also meet
certain criteria for discharges to impaired waters, or waters which nitrogen, phosphorus, bacteria or mercury are
Stormwater Pollutants of Concern, or waters which have pollution load reductions specified within the Total
Maximum Daily Load(TMDL is the water quality implementation plan established pursuant to Section 303 of the
Clean Water Act). There are now requirements for any new discharges to both impaired and high quality waters.
The Town will continue with the services of a consultant, Barton & Loguidice, to assist the Town in remaining
compliant with the MS4 General Permit. Although Town staff will perform tasks whenever possible, many of
the activities are technical or time sensitive.
Activities associated with mandated requirements in general are:
e 
Water Quality Sampling
e 
Review of Waterford’s Stormwater Management Plan for compliance with the new General Permit
e 
Ongoing inspections of catch basins and stormwater facilities
e 
Complete mapping of 15” diameter piping or less of the storm drainage system

The Town of Waterford has approximately 8,200 street trees along its 120 miles of roadways. At times
there is a need to hire a Contractor to perform some of the trimming or tree removals. This is mostly
due to excessive tree size, trees too close to structures or electrical lines. Eversource has assisted in
the past with many removals, particularly around the power lines. This request is made for an
appropriation for pest control and outside tree services, when required.

The Town purchased the streetlights from Eversource and converted them to LED fixtures. The result
was a substantial annual savings for the Town.
Additionally, the town is responsible for the power to traffic signals at intersection with Town and State
roads. There are twenty-nine traffic signals. In most cases, the Town pays only the electrical usage and
the State of Connecticut performs maintenance on them. Any signals at State road intersections are paid
by the State and any private entrances to State or Town roads such as Stop & Shop and the Regal
Cinema are paid by the abutting property owner.

52470 Solid Waste Disposal:
This Line Item is divided into two primary categories, services supported through a Municial Services Agreement
with the Southeastern Connecticut Regional Resources Recovery Authority (SCRRRA or the Authority) which
the Town is a member of, and Town supported services. 
Both have costs and in some cases revenues
associated with them. 
Waste generation tonnages may fluctuate significantly, making expenditures and
revenues difficult to project.
The Schedule of Fees for the Transfer Station were last revised in November 2011. The Department is using
this fee schedule for the estimate of revenues.
A. 
Municipal Solid Waste
The Town brings all municipal solid waste to the Waste to Energy Facility located in Lisbon, CT in accordance
with the Municipal Services Agreement with the Authority signed in October of 2019. The tipping fee or cost per
ton has been established by the Authority at $59.25/Ton for FY 23.

B. 
Single Stream Recycling
Our Single Stream Recycling Program continues to be a success. During FY21 we collected 1,658 tons of
recyclables curbside. 
Due to market changes, the Town will no longer see revenues from recyclables. That
agreement expired in November 2019. 
The Authority has taken on this issue by including the disposal of
recyclable material in the Municipal Service Agreement. The Authority for FY23 will be assuming the disposal
cost for each of its member towns. 
It is unknown at this time whether the Authority, starting in FY 24, can
continue with subsidizing this disposal in the outlying years.
We continue to operate a recycling compactor at the Bulky Waste Transfer Station and transport the recyclables
collected on our routes to Willimantic Waste for processing.
Currently the compactor is rented from Willimantic Waste for $400/month. The contract is renewed in July and
it is unknown if an increase will be proposed by Willimantic at this time. 
$ 4,800
Cc. 
Bulky Waste (Transfer Station and Curbside Collection)
e 
Transfer Station: The Bulky Waste Transfer Station is located at the Municipal Complex. This
facility serves only the Town of Waterford residents and businesses. A fee of $110/ton is charged
for the disposal of the bulky waste.
This resulted in a revenue of $79,720 for FY 21.
We have a three year contract with a vendor to remove 1,000 tons of bulky waste a year at
$100/ton. This contract also includes a price per pull (estimated at 67 pulls in one fiscal year) @
$415/each. This contract is up June 30, 2022 and is expected to increase. 
$ 128,000
e 
Curbside Collection: We provide curbside bulky waste pickup and charge per the approved Fee
Schedule.
This resulted in a revenue of $6,070 in FY21.
D. 
Bulky Steel & Freon Removal
Bulky Steel such as appliances, bicycles, siding, etc. are accepted at the Transfer Station. The value of scrap
steel fluctuates greatly. 
Prior to processing appliance, all Freon refrigerants must be removed from the

refrigerator, dehumidifies, air conditioners, etc. and certified. 
SCRRRA includes Freon removal as part of
services provided by the Authority to the member Towns at no cost.
We received approximately $48,622 in revenues from scrap steel. Our 3 year contract is in place with the Town
receiving 71% of the auto bodies export price published in the New York American Metal market (1° issue of the
month) but not less than $120/ton. This contract is also up June 30, 2022 and the market for metal is very
unsteady.
E 
Yard Waste (Brush and Leaves)
Leaves in biodegradable paper bags or loose may be deposited at the Transfer Station. Brush is also accepted.
The Authority grinds the brush, at no cost to the Town. This allows the Town to provide the wood mulch for free
to our residents. As the Authority provides this service to its 11 member town, at times, when a large quantity of
debris accumulates, it is removed from the site to reduce the risk of fire. We will need to dispose of any large,
new accumulations. Leaves are transported by the Department to an out of town location.
Revenues: We collected $13,300 for brush at the Transfer Station during FY21 and another $600 for curbside
collection of brush totaling $13,900.
The appropriation requested for disposalis 
$2,500
F. 
Roll-Out Trash & Recycling Containers (Carts)
These 96 gallon units are the roll out containers that the residents put their trash and recyclables in for their
curbside pickup. We stock approximately 350 roll out containers as replacements and for new residents. Each
household is able to have up to 3 blue & 3 green containers. The cost to the residents are $50 each and the
Town delivers to the homeowner, if needed. We also stock parts to repair the carts, when possible. The original
carts are beginning to break and the Town is having to replace these more often than ever before.
The revenue from FY21 for these containers was $9,880.
The appropriation requested is 
$ 60,000
G. 
Street Sweepings / Catch Basin Cleaning
The MS4 Stormwater permit requires monitoring and cleaning all catch basins and sweeping all streets once per
year. We are responsible for 3200 catch basins and 240 lane miles of roads. This results in the disposal of
approximately 375 tons of waste from the sweeping of roads and cleaning of catch basins.
The estimated cost of disposal is $50/load x 500 loads = 
$25,000

Landfill Cap Maintenance
This line item includes all cost involving the closed, capped Waterford Landfill. The landfill (18 acres)
has been officially closed since December 31, 2001. The DEEP permit requires the landfill to be
maintained and monitored for 30 years after closure.
Landfill Well Monitoring — involves a monitoring program for testing, monitoring wells, domestic wells
and surface water sites.
Currently, monitoring is performed twice a year, in November and May. The monitoring program consists
of groundwater and surface water monitoring, plus the collection and sampling of the water supply well
at the nearby pig farm. Decomposition gas monitoring is also required, at the two on-site gas ports. VOC
testing is required during the May monitoring event. DEEP requires that a semi-annual report for each
monitoring event be submitted, and also the submittal of an annual report in February.
$12,500
Landfill Mowing — The closure Permit requires the landfill be mowed twice a year to prevent large
vegetation growth and trees. The current bid for this work is $ 4,650 per mowing, and this mowing is
done twice a year. 
$ 9,300
Landfill Maintenance There is a need for calcium chloride for dust control and bank run gravel for the
approved processing pad and roadway access maintenance to a portion of the top of the closed landfill
where we will continue to process brush and general yard waste. An allocation of $2,000 is requested
for these items.
