AN ACT AUTHORIZING BONDS OF THE STATE FOR REHABILITATION OF UTILITIES ASSOCIATED WITH CONNECTING NORWICH PUBLIC WORKS THROUGH THE FORMER NORWICH STATE HOSPITAL PROPERTY AND EXTENDING TO THE PRESTON INCINERATOR SITE.

SB 920 authorizes up to $5 million in state bonds to fund the rehabilitation and upgrade of sewer and water utility infrastructure. The project connects Norwich Public Works through the former Norwich State Hospital property (in Norwich and Preston) and extends to the Preston Incinerator site. The Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP) will use bond proceeds to provide grants for upgrading sewer lines, water lines, pump stations, and related equipment. This bill directly affects residents and operations in Norwich and Preston by improving utility infrastructure in these specific locations.
