Westbrook added to Clean Water Fund priority list; town pursues town‑center wastewater analysis
Summary
Planning Director Peter Gillespie said Westbrook has been placed on the Clean Water Fund Priority List; RiverCOG will supply a consultant to run a cost‑benefit analysis on a town‑center wastewater system and the town will follow up with CT DEEP and the WPCA.
Peter Gillespie, the town's Planning, Zoning and Development Director, reported that "Westbrook has been added to the Clean Water Fund Priority List," opening potential state funding avenues for a town‑center wastewater solution.
Town Center Revitalization Committee Chair Marilyn Ozols said RiverCOG has hired consultant Dale Kroop to perform a cost‑benefit analysis meant to show how a town‑center wastewater system would benefit property owners and the municipality. Gillespie said staff will follow up with the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (CT DEEP) and reach out to Sid Holbrook, chair of the town's Water Pollution Control Authority, about next steps.
The committee described the analysis as a step to clarify costs and municipal benefits before pursuing design or funding. No funding decision or formal vote was recorded at the meeting because neither the TCRC nor the EDC had a quorum.
