Stonington — October has been a busy month for Stonington Borough, with several projects in the works.

At Monday’s Warden and Burgesses meeting, the board discussed several projects at various stages of completion in the small village, including repairs at Wayland’s Wharf, a public bathroom project and a recertification of the community’s flood rating.

Burgess Kevin Rogers announced that the project to create public restrooms at Borough Hall on Church Street is currently underway, with an estimated timeline of seven to eight weeks for completion.

He said that several tiles in the entry hall of the building had to be removed as they contained asbestos, and the remediation is now complete. The ground has also been excavated to replace antiquated cast iron pipes.

He said that the project, begun two weeks ago, is currently on schedule, and barring any delays, the bathrooms could be open by the end of November or early December, which would coincide with the Annual Borough Holiday Stroll on Dec. 6.

Warden Michael Schefers discussed plans to repair Wayland’s Wharf, the small park at the end of Church Street, which has been rapidly deteriorating in recent years due to rising sea levels and increasingly strong storms.

Schefers explained that the borough had received one bid so far for the work to repair the wharf, which will include digging a trench behind the existing seawall on the landward side, installing a waterproof membrane, pouring a second concrete seawall to shore up the seaward portions of the park and replacing sidewalks.

The project will be completed in two phases, with the first phase to include work from the edge of the parking lot to the gazebo, which Schefers said was the more damaged portion.

According to Schefers, the Borough currently has $75,000 budgeted for the work, which should cover the first phase of the project.

Schefers also said the Federal Emergency Management Agency had completed the Borough’s Community Rating System recertification.

The flood rating is a voluntary, point-based community rating that determines how much property owners pay for flood insurance through FEMA’s National Flood Insurance Program. Municipalities get points for initiatives that improve floodplain management.

The recertification means that property owners who purchase flood insurance through the federal agency will continue to receive a 10% discount on their rates.

Additionally, the board discussed a number of other small issues, such as repairing aging floors at the fire department and ongoing work throughout the borough to improve drainage and help prevent flooding.
