Lowe's antes up to boost Norwich water system
NORWICH – Along with improving the Town of Norwich’s look and economic outlook, Lowe’s Home Improvement Center, the newest big business to build here, is also lending a helping hand to other businesses and residences in the area.
Lowe’s decided five months ago to pay for the replacement of two out of the three water pumps to the town’s water substation located south of Norwich on Rt. 12. The substation as it stands now would be inadequate due to an increase in the amount of usage that will be required. The southern end of town, now home to Wal-Mart, Lowe’s, Taco Bell/KFC and numerous residences, needs to have bigger pumps to sufficiently supply water. With the additional pumps, the water supply or volume will increase significantly.
The substation now houses three pumps; two of them pump 70 gallons per minute (gpm) and the other pumps 800 gpm. The two smaller pumps will be replaced with two much larger pumps rating 250 gpms and one 2,000 gpm. The largest pump will act as the fire pump.
Lowe’s has bonded the project for payment and performance to ensure the work is guaranteed. A third bond included guaranteed maintenance for a year. The home improvement chain has spent, according to Town Supervisor Dave Law, “ an upward amount figuring between $250,000 and $300,000,” for the pumps to be replaced and for labor.
Law said the process has taken time to get underway; first the project had to be passed, the drawings had to be decided upon and the paperwork needed to be done. The project is scheduled to begin in early October and at the time when the pumps are replaced there should be no disruption to businesses or homes in the area.
