The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 176, seeks to authorize the issuance of state bonds not exceeding four million dollars for a sewer project in the village of Hanover, located in the town of Sprague. The funds generated from these bonds will be allocated to the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection, which will provide a grant-in-aid to the town of Sprague specifically for the installation of a force main and new sewer lines. This initiative aims to replace existing sewer lines that are over one hundred years old and have been collapsing, leading to sewer backups in residential homes.

The bill empowers the State Bond Commission to authorize the bond issuance in accordance with section 3-20 of the general statutes. There are no deletions from current law mentioned in the text, indicating that this bill introduces new provisions without altering existing legal language. The primary goal of the legislation is to enhance the infrastructure of the sewer system in Hanover, thereby improving public health and safety for the residents affected by the deteriorating conditions.
