Re: Library Electrical Project Request
Replacement of the main disconnect electrical switch and service and parking lot lighting at the
Library is necessary. We are requesting an additional appropriation of $25,000 from the
Unassigned Fund Balance to a new project line within the Capital improvements Project Fund
This will complete the design, cost estimates and bid documents for the project. The cost
estimate will take into account all utility requirements and permitting costs
The Department will request construction funds after the detailed cost estimate has been
Prepared. With the volatile market, cost estimates can better be prepared closer to bidding.
The existing service is hung off a wooden utility pole that holds the main electrical feed from the
street, three transformers, and conduits to the building. It also holds communication utilities.
Conduits from this pole to the basement of the Library are allowing water to enter the main
disconnect electrical switch box. The switch is showing signs of corrosion caused by water
entering the conduit at the pole and must be replaced before failure.
Due to the service size, we must adhere to Eversource's requirements which will require a pad
mounted transformer. The new service, a 600 amp 240 volt service entrance rated main
disconnect switch, will be fed from this pad-mounted transformer which Eversource will own.
The existing pole is planned to be removed by undergrounding electrical and communications
from an existing pole closer to the street. New conduits will be provided for electrical and
communications.
The current parking lighting is powered from the Library basement back out to the pole holding
the existing transformers and then by overhead wire to existing wooden poles that hold the
lights. The project will include the replacement of these poles and lights. The poles have
reached their life expectancy. Light fixtures and poles will match the theme of the civic green.

1 [DESCRIPTION AND JUSTIFICATION (describe the type, purpose & anticipated accomplishments of the project)
[The facility is currently served by overhead pole mounted transformers located at the end of a pole line nto the property from
Route 156. From the transformers, the cables enter conduits on the pole that then becomes a buried conduit until it enters
the basement. Over the years, water has entered the conduits draining into the disconnect switch, corroding the cabinet and
the electrical connections. it must be replaced. It would be cost effect to underground all utilities that are on the current pole.
[communications (fiber and copper) would be moved underground from the first pole near Rt 156 to the building and the
Joarking lot lighting would be replaced due to the age and condition of the poles.

Memo
To: Robert Brule, First Selectman
From: —— Gary J Schneider, Director of Public Works

Date: September 2, 2025
Re: Paving Request ~ FY26
Request: To fund a new project, the resurfacing of roads by transferring funds from the
Unassigned Balance of the General Fund to a project line to be created within the Capital
Improvements Project Fund to complete the resurfacing of roads identified in Year 1 of the
three-year plan.
‘The Department is requesting $1,533,283 from the General Fund Balance to be used with
$539,485 (line item 33023-55890) already collected from Eversource for year 1 of the program.
‘Where: The roads are listed in Year 1. Year 1 will see % of the roads resurfaced in Quaker Hill,
which were impacted by the installation of the natural gas infrastructure. In general the roads
are north of Richards Grove Road to the Route 32 connection. It also includes some roads in
this area that did not see the installation of gas service, but makes operational sense to
complete these roads while the contractors are in the area. Year 2 addresses the remainder of
those roads south of Richards Grove Road.
Discussion: | have prepared a 3-year, $4 million resurfacing program to address the needs of
road resurfacing throughout the entire Town. The plan uses our four Districts to distribute the
effort throughout the entire Town. Each year identifies approximately $1 million in resurfacing, a
number that the Department can comfortably support. In the plan, Districts 2, 3 and 4 each will
realize approximately $1 million over the 3 years. District 1 will see less in this plan due to the
recently completion of the resurfacing of roads off of Fog Plain Road and roads in the area of
Tiffany and Vivian streets.

(increased by 9%) used in the determination of Eversource' s reimbursement to resurface the
roads impacted by the installation of their natural gas infrastructure.
‘The program includes an allowance of $250,000 per district for items such as utility resets,
asphalt cost escalation, line striping and resident notifications.
The plan will be reviewed each fall before the next years paving season to verify the roads to be
completed. At the same time, the Department will add the third year to the plan.
| respectfully request to be placed on the Board of Select man's agenda, and forwarded to the
Board of Finance, if approved.

[DESCRIPTION AND JUSTIFICATION (describe the type, purpose & anticipated accomplishments of the project)
[Ail roads identified in this project fall under the definition of needing structural improvement or rehabiltation. This is.
|2s milling the top several inches of old asphalt from the surface and replacing with new asphalt or full depth reclamation,
|where the asphalt is ground up and mixed with the base to establish a new base and then resurfaced with three inches of
inew asphalt. Year 1 will complete 1/2 of the roads in the Quaker Hill area, those being north of Richards Grove Road. It
includes some roads in this area that were not affected by Eversource, but make optional sense to complete. Also include
lare several roads around Maple Road and several roads around Soljer Drive. Future years will folow the Three Year Pian.
[PROJECT STATUS IF IN PROGRESS.
[LIST OTHER PROJECTS WITHIN YOUR DEPARTMENT OR ANOTHER DEPARTMENT THAT WILL BE IMPACTED BY THIS
|REQUEST
[Plastic water services and catch basin replacements will be completed before paving starts.
[DESCRIBE THE IMPACT ON DEPARTMENT OPERATING BUDGET (Include cost estimate lf applicable)
[Minor impact. Current practice is just to make the road condition safe. Minor savings in pot hole patching
materials
[GRANT FUNDING/OTHER FUNDING, If applicable (detalled explanation of grant/other funding, including the amount,
lsource of funding, status, town match, if any. Attach award letter if avallable)
[Eversource deposited with the Town funds to restore the roads in lieu of performing the work themselves. See
lattached Pian for roads that apply to this funding.

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:
L
The Utility Commission respectfully requests an appropriation of the funds currently
designated within 20531-57881, Plastic Water Service Line Replacement in the
amount of $200,000.
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.
‘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

p
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

spread out over a few years if necessary and all future interior and exterior renovation
costs are included,
Our request is to initiate a funding schedule that would enroll the three water storage
tanks in a Tank Asset Management program progressively, beginning with Fargo Road in
FY26, this tank will not require any Upfront Renovation costs to enroll in the program,
only annual Maintenance plan costs. A draft contract from our coating contractor is
included as backup for this request.
5. The Utility Commission respectfully requests an appropriation of the funds currently
designated within L.1, # 20531-57896, Bartlett Corners Water Booster in the amount of
$166,950.00
In 2006, the Town constructed water system improvements that enhanced water pressures
and fire flows to the Quaker Hill area of Waterford. Included in this project were a new
2500 gpm capacity water booster pumping station near the intersection of Old Colchester
and Old Norwich Roads, and a 1.5 million gallon pre-cast, pre-stressed concrete water
storage tank constructed on Rogers Hill. From 1977 up to 2006, the Bartlett Corners
Hydro-pneumatic Station served a small high service area on a hill in the northeast corner
of Waterford consisting of approximately 20 residential customers on Lathrop Road,
Lower Bartlett Road, Upper Bartlett Road, Pepperidge Road and South Bartlett Road.
‘Once the new Quaker Hill water system improvements were activated in 2006, the
Bartlett Comers Station was inactivated however not fully decommissioned. In 2009 a
decommissioning report was prepared which identified costs of $105,000 to properly
decommission the station. This project has been identified within previous CIPs.
Utilizing the Engineering News Record’s Construction Costs Index inflation factor of
1.59 from 11/2009 to 11/2024, the current decommissioning costs estimate is $166,950

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 18th and bids will be opened on September 19th, 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.I. # 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 and maintenance of the water storage 
tanks does not fall behind, thus improving the reliability of the system. A sustainable 
water tank management solution also makes budgeting easier as initial repair costs can be 
spread out over a few years if necessary and all future interior and exterior renovation 
costs are included. 
Our request is to initiate a funding schedule that would enroll the three water storage 
tanks in a Tank Asset Management program progressively, beginning with Fargo Road in 
FY26, this tank will not require any Upfront Renovation costs to enroll in the program, 
only annual Maintenance plan costs. A draft contract from our coating contractor is 
included as backup for this request. 
 
5. The Utility Commission respectfully requests an appropriation of the funds currently 
designated within L.I. # 20531-57896, Bartlett Corners Water Booster in the amount of 
$166,950.00 
 
In 2006, the Town constructed water system improvements that enhanced water pressures 
and fire flows to the Quaker Hill area of Waterford. Included in this project were a new 
2500 gpm capacity water booster pumping station near the intersection of Old Colchester 
and Old Norwich Roads, and a 1.5 million gallon pre-cast, pre-stressed concrete water 
storage tank constructed on Rogers Hill. From 1977 up to 2006, the Bartlett Corners 
Hydro-pneumatic Station served a small high service area on a hill in the northeast corner 
of Waterford consisting of approximately 20 residential customers on Lathrop Road, 
Lower Bartlett Road, Upper Bartlett Road, Pepperidge Road and South Bartlett Road.  
Once the new Quaker Hill water system improvements were activated in 2006, the 
Bartlett Corners Station was inactivated however not fully decommissioned. In 2009 a 
decommissioning report was prepared which identified costs of $105,000 to properly 
decommission the station. This project has been identified within previous CIPs. 
Utilizing the Engineering News Record’s Construction Costs Index inflation factor of 
1.59 from 11/2009 to 11/2024, the current decommissioning costs estimate is $166,950

Minimal impact on operational budget, however, accessibility will allow staff to conduct routine and emergency repairs 
in a timely manner, in lieu of creating access on a emergency basis which will be far more costly and greatly reduce the 
potential of adverse environmental impact.
The goal of this project is to obtain readily available access to all cross-country sewer mains. 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 area or create alternate
