AI Summary
- Modifies section 22a-471 of Connecticut General Statutes to clarify grant provisions for municipalities and water companies addressing groundwater pollution affecting drinking water supplies
- Allows municipalities adjacent to federal Superfund sites with water line extensions to upgrade water mains for fire flow capacity, with the municipality responsible only for incremental project costs rather than full oversized main costs
- Replaces outdated pronoun references ("which he," "which") with modern equivalents ("that," "that the commissioner") throughout the statute
- Maintains existing cost-sharing formulas where municipalities receive 100% funding for short-term potable water provision and most cost-effective long-term solutions, while water companies receive 50% funding
- Requires the 50% municipal cost responsibility for oversized water main upgrades to address fire flow needs at federal Superfund site adjacent areas to be calculated only on the incremental cost difference, not the full project expense
