Sanitary Sewer Extensions - East Haven, CT

Riverside/Morgan Point Area Sewer Extension Project

This project encompasses an area along the shoreline from Morgan Point on the west to Branford River on the east. The area is dense with small lots, high groundwater, a low area subject to tidal flooding, poor soils and failing septic systems.

Planning and design of sewers for this area required crossing of wetlands, acquisition of easements and pumping station sites, protection of the system from flooding and coordination with the Water Pollution Control Authority, the Department of Environmental Protection, the Environmental Protection Agency and the Corps of Engineers. Our firm prepared applications for Inland and Tidal Wetland Permits from the Department of Environmental Protection and the Corps of Engineers together with materials for grant applications, reimbursement requests, assistance in the establishment of sewer assessments, connection charges and user fees.

The project was divided into three separate contracts:

1. Contract 30:
   consisted of approximately 23,000 linear feet of sanitary sewer and one pumping station and force main.
   
2. Contract 31A:
   consisted of approximately 38,000 linear feet of sanitary sewer and two pumping stations and force main.
   
3. Contract 31B:
   consisted of approximately 4,200 linear feet of sanitary sewer and one pumping station.
