South Windsor Water Pollution Plant's Odor System To Be Replaced
A $1.3 million allotment from the State Bond Commission Friday will cover half the cost of the project, according to a state official.
SOUTH WINDSOR, CT — A $1.3 million allotment from the State Bond Commission Friday will support replacement of the South Windsor Water Pollution Control Facility's centralized odor system, following recent complaints from residents that the system's inefficiencies have caused serious issues with lingering smells in parts of town.
"This funding is important because it will fix an issue causing headaches for a number of constituents," State Sen. Saud Anwar said in a written statement. "They have regularly contacted me to share their plight, and I worked to help secure these funds for our community.
"By replacing this system at the town's facilities, I'm confident that these issues will be alleviated, helping clear the air and improve residents' experiences. I'm grateful to Governor Lamont and the State Bond Commission for their support of this project."
