kellogg-deering well field

NORWALK WATER DEPARTMENT

The Kellogg-Deering Well Field site consists of an approximately 10-acre municipal well field and adjacent areas that contribute to the well field contamination. Groundwater sampling data indicated that a significant source of contamination exists below the Elinco/Pitney Bowes/Matheis Court Complex located at the eastern edge of the site. The well field supplies approximately 20 percent of the drinking water to 80,000 residents in the City of Norwalk. The primary source of public water supply to the Norwalk First Taxing District (NFTD) Water Department is surface water from four reservoirs. Reservoir water is blended with well field water at varying ratios, depending on reservoir storage and distribution system location. The well field is adjacent to residential and light industrial areas.
