Transfer station Free use
Due to the storm on August 18, 2024, Naugatuck will accept water damaged items from county residents free of charge at the Naugatuck Transfer Station located at 34 Andrew Ave. The Transfer Station will be open Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. and Tuesdays and Thursdays from 8:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. through Saturday, August 31, 2024.
Residents must bring proof of residency such as a driver’s license, vehicle registration or piece of mail.
Residents must sign a form confirming the debris is related to the August 18 storm. This will help with our FEMA claim.
All normal transfer station rules apply, including:
County residents are reminded to be careful when selecting licensed contractors to renovate their home. State law requires that the work be defined in a signed contract. Make sure contractors are not charging you reloading fees.
Questions should be directed to the Department of Public Works at 203-720-7071.
Private and business claims
The county is seeking reimbursement for all storm damage from FEMA and will also pursue private property claims from residents and businesses. City staff is currently gathering information. Homeowners and businesses should diligently collect documentation, including photos of all damage, and submit copies to county officials.
Generally, FEMA claims must be filed for major damage that is not covered by insurance. For example, replacing a furnace is major damage, but water in the basement may not be major damage.
In addition, homeowners and businesses should submit a damage report at the following link: https://crisistrack.juvare.com/public/CTDEMHS/request.html.
This is not a claim for reimbursement. It is a claim report and is the first step in the FEMA process.
There is no guarantee of reimbursement from FEMA. The City, our federal delegation in Washington DC, and our state delegation in Hartford will work together to achieve positive outcomes.
Homeowners and businesses should file their individual or business claims online in parallel. More information from FEMA will follow shortly.
City streets
All city roads are fully operational except Hunters Mountain Road. Reconstruction of a large portion of Hunters Mountain Road began today and should be completed next week.
The district documents all associated costs and expenses for our FEMA claim.
