While work in recent years has been aimed at improving water quality and capacity, the new list of projects will cover plant upgrades in some areas that date to the original 1951 construction.
Early estimates are that the work will cost $800,000 to $1 million and will probably be done in 2014 and 2015.
There was $350,000 placed in the 2013 budget to replace rapid sand filters and the under drain system (which date respectively to 1951 and 1968). Director of Utilities Brian O'Connell told the board that since an engineering firm has not been selected, that project will not get done this year and funds will be reappropriated in 2014.
