Background:
To comply with the Lead Survey required by the Connecticut Department of Public Health (CT DPH) for all water systems in Connecticut, that the Ledyard Water Pollution Control Authority solicited Requests for Qualifications (RFQ #2026-02 Lead and Copper Rules Revisions Compliance).
Town Council Meeting 12/10/2025
The Town Council authorized the Mayor to sign a contract for the Water Pollution Control Authority (WPCA) to engage Arcadis Engineering Consultants, East Greenwich, Rhode Island, to verify Service Lines and prepare a cost estimate for Lead Survey.
Arcadis Engineering Consultants has provided a cost in the amount of $216,000 to conduct a Lead and Copper Survey of water service lines to comply with a Federal Mandate. Because the Water Pollution Control Authority does not have the funding to pay for this work to be done, the WPCA has requested financial assistance from the Town.
The proposed “Memorandum of Understanding Between the Town of Ledyard And the Ledyard Water Pollution Control Authority Regarding Financial Commitments for the Federally Mandated Lead and Copper Service Line Survey” as presented in the draft dated June 11, 2026 would loan the needed $216,000 to the WPCA to have the Lead and Copper Survey done.
The terms of the MOU the WPCA shall repay the loan to the Town of up to $215,000, amortized over a Ten (10) year term, with an interest rate of Two (2%) PERCENT and a semi-annual payment of Eleven Thousand Nine Hundred and Fourteen ($11,914.29) DOLLARS and Twenty Nine CENTS. (see attached MOU)
