Council approves $2M DWSRF grant for Kenosia well PFAS treatment; loan needed for remainder
Summary
Danbury’s City Council approved CT DPH DWSRF funding for PCE and PFAS treatment upgrades at the Kenosia well field; staff said the maximum grant is $2 million and remaining project costs (~$5.6M) would require a loan.
The Danbury City Council on July 7 unanimously approved a CT Department of Public Health DWSRF project funding resolution to pay for PCE and PFAS treatment upgrades at the Kenosia well field.
Council member Flanagan moved to receive and approve the resolution; Council member Rotello asked whether the funds could be used for other PFAS remediation. Mr. Day (city staff) replied that the $2 million grant would be restricted to the Kenosia well only and confirmed that the highest grant available was $2 million. He added that the project’s remaining costs—approximately $5.6 million—would need to be financed by a loan.
The council approved the resolution as presented. The discussion clarified scope and funding limits but did not change the approved action.
What happens next: staff will proceed with the project under the grant conditions; the city will need to identify loan financing or other revenue sources to cover the remainder of the project cost.
