WPCA accepts 10 Long Hill Avenue sewer connection plan for technical review; proposes 17-unit apartment, $44,200 benefit charge
Summary
The WPCA accepted for review a sewer-connection plan for a proposed 17-unit apartment at 10 Long Hill Avenue. The developer calculates 17 EDUs, 3,570 gallons per day and a benefit charge of $44,200; the board authorized forwarding the plan to the consultant for engineering review rather than final approval.
The Shelton City Water Pollution Control Authority on an unspecified date voted to accept for technical review a sewer-connection plan for a proposed 17-unit apartment building at 10 Long Hill Avenue, but did not grant final approval pending consultant review.
Andy Stillman, a registered civil engineer representing the applicant, told the WPCA the project would create 17 apartments, which the applicant estimates will generate roughly 3,570 gallons per day — equivalent to 17 EDUs — and that the calculated benefit charge is $44,200. "The amount of units is 17 apartment, which which comes out to about 3,570 gallons per day, which is equivalent to about 17 EDUs. And that, comes out to for your benefit charge, for $44,200," Stillman said.
Stillman said the proposal uses the existing 15-inch tile line in Long Hill Avenue and proposes a new six-inch lateral with an approved saddle connection to tie into that line. He noted the project already has Planned Development District (PDD) approval from zoning and that the WPCA's role at this meeting was to accept the sewer plan for consultant review.
Board members moved and seconded a motion to accept the plan for review (not to approve final connection). The board then voted by voice to accept the plan and send it to the WPCA consultant for technical review and recommendation. The consultant review — not the WPCA vote at this meeting — will determine whether to approve the benefit charge and connection details.
Clarifying details recorded during the discussion include the developer's estimate of 17 EDUs and 3,570 gallons per day, a proposed six-inch lateral into an existing 15-inch main, and the stated benefit charge of $44,200. The WPCA emphasized the acceptance was for review only; final authorization will follow consultant review and any required inspections or permit steps.
