Danbury examining sewer line request near airport

Danbury is looking into a request for a sewer line through Danbury Municipal Airport.  An ad hoc committee of the City Council is meeting at 6:30 tonight in City Hall to consider a temporary construction easement for the installation. 

The Airport was approached by West Miry Holdings LLC to construct a line, connecting to existing infrastructure at Backus Avenue.  A portion of the main extension within the right-of-way of Miry Brook Road veers onto property of DXR along the taxiway, then across private property and eventually terminating at the rear of 43 Miry Brook Road. 

Although the easement lies outside of the Taxiway Safety Area, it will be paved in accordance with Federal Aviation Administration standards.  Danbury Airport Administrator Michael Safranek says since there is no plan in the near future for a sewer connection for this section of Miry Brook Road, and this could benefit on-and-off airport tenants, this is the best way to respond to the need for a sewer line for the business. 

The project does have the support of the FAA, but the location has not been fully vetted by the Department of Public Works, so the Planning Commission last week gave a negative referral.
