HARTFORD A proposal to extend Hartford’s sewer system to neighboring Norwich is in limbo after town officials declined Tuesday to endorse the project, but didn’t explicitly kill it either.
During a roughly hourlong discussion, Hartford Selectboard members worried that expanding the sewer line to the Marion Cross School could open the town to unwanted liability or development.
Several times, officials also questioned how Hartford would benefit from helping the Norwich School Board, which for more than two years has explored options to repair or replace a failed septic system under the Norwich green.
