AN ACT AUTHORIZING BONDS OF THE STATE TO THE SOUTHEASTERN CONNECTICUT WATER AUTHORITY TO UPGRADE WATERLINES AND CONNECTIONS IN THE TOWN OF MONTVILLE.

SB 162 authorizes the state to issue up to $14 million in bonds to fund waterline upgrades in Montville Manor, Montville. The funds will be provided as a grant-in-aid to the Southeastern Connecticut Water Authority through the Department of Economic and Community Development. This bill directly affects residents of Montville Manor by enabling critical infrastructure improvements to waterlines and connections. The key mechanism is state bond financing, with the grant specifically targeting upgrades in that specific neighborhood. The bill does not alter existing water service regulations or impose new requirements on residents.
