Town of Hebron Water Pollution Control Authority
Mission Statement: The Mission of the Town of Hebron WPCA is to oversee and maintain the wastewater system in accordance with State and Federal Standards. The WPCA serves the community by identifying the needs of a changing population and preparing for future generations. Maintaining the sewer system helps to promote business and enhances the quality of life for the residents of the Town of Hebron.
The Water Pollution Control Authority (WPCA) is comprised of five members and meets the second Tuesday of every month. The primary responsibility of the WPCA is the effective management of the municipal sewage system. The sewer system has been on-line since November 1991. The location of Town sewers remain in the Amston Lake Area, Route 85 from the intersection of Route 66 and Route 85 to Crouch Road, Crouch Road, North Pond Road, Brenna Road, Hope Valley Road, Slicer Drive, parts of Millstream Road and Wall Street, Main Street, Pendleton Drive and Wellswood Road. The sewer system also serves the retirement community located on Loveland Road, RHAM High and Middle School, Hebron Elementary School, the Stonecroft Retirement Community, Hebron Senior Center, Hebron Town Offices and Colebrook Village on John E. Horton Boulevard as well as all the commercial businesses located in the town center. There are 17 miles of sewer line installed in these areas and nine sewage-pumping stations. Hebron pumps its sewage to the Town of Colchester and from there it is pumped to the town of East Hampton where the sewage treatment plant is located.
Town of Hebron, Pump Station Upgrades, Phase 1
The Town of Hebron Water Pollution Control Authority is beginning the Pump Station Upgrades that were voted on and approved. The construction award was granted to Holzner Construction. Engineering and Construction Administration will be provided by Wright Pierce. The stations included in this phase are Old Railroad and Raymond Brook that are located on Route 85, Millstream which is on Kinney Road and lastly Wellswood. As part of Phase 1 design, new generators will be added to all the pump stations except Amston Lake where a new generator was installed only a few years ago. Phase 1 was completed in Summer 2023.

As of 2026, the design work is scheduled for the upgrade of four additional pump stations as well as the replacement of all the residential grinder pumps. This project is scheduled for construction in 2027.

Reminder: If there is a power outage your grinder pump does not work.
Cooking or animal grease should NOT be poured down the drain. Grease causes build-up on the floats and hinders operation of the grinder pump. Homeowners will be billed an additional charge for any alarm calls related to excessive grease build-up.
