NORWICH The Norwich Planning Commission has endorsed a proposal to seek state funds for a study exploring whether it’s feasible to extend sewer lines into the village.
The study would assess the need, demand and potential costs of building a “wastewater solution for the village center,” according to a resolution adopted by the commission last week.
That charge includes determining whether to build sewer lines from Hartford to the Marion Cross School, which is seeking alternatives to a failed septic system that runs under the Norwich Green.
The study also should “look at alternative wastewater solutions,” survey Norwich residents on their concerns and identify potential solutions, according to the resolution, which was supported by five members of the Planning Commission.

Voters in Hanover and Norwich will be asked to approve more than $1 million in school technology upgrades during Australian ballot voting next month.
The Dresden School District warrant calls for voters to approve a bond raising more than $842,700 for upgrades to Hanover High School and Richmond Middle School. Meanwhile, the Hanover School District is seeking more than $245,000 for the Ray School, while Norwich’s warning asks for about $216,000 for the Marion Cross School.
The package of projects is meant to improve teachers’ ability to teach remotely while also increasing the quality of technology used during in-person learning, according to school officials. It entails installing new cable lines, phones and improvements to infrastructure throughout the interstate school system.
