Colchester Public Service Corporation is addressing critical water and wastewater investments to upgrade the local water and wastewater systems. This year, Colchester Public Service Corporation is investing approximately $290,000 in upgrades.
Seth Whitney, Senior Vice President at Colchester Public Service Corporation, said, “While much of the country’s water and wastewater systems often go unnoticed, they deliver life-sustaining and public health support every single day. These systems are aging and need continuous investment to avoid crisis situations like we’ve seen in communities where investment needs are ignored. At Colchester Public Service Corporation we work hard to upgrade our local systems so our customers can continue to trust the service we deliver now and in the future. Our customers support these important investments by paying their bill.”
According to Whitney, investments in the local water and wastewater systems include electrical upgrades at the water and wastewater treatment plants to support safety and efficient operations. This work also supports future security system upgrades planned for next year.
Rob Powelson, President and CEO of National Association of Water Companies (NAWC) said, “Communities nationwide are facing massive fiscal challenges to replace water and wastewater infrastructure and effectively manage their systems. Water-related services are extremely capital intensive – more so than electric, natural gas and telecom – which is why it is important water companies take a proactive investment strategy to ensure our country’s water future. We commend Colchester Public Service Corporation for their continued focus on investment that goes a long way toward ensuring safety and reliability.”
