Updating the Sewage Spill Right-To-Know Law
We are outraged by the July 2020 sewage spill in the Mill River that has caused the death of wildlife and endangered human health. This is totally unacceptable and poses a serious health threat to the communities along the river, especially low-income areas where there is a significant amount of subsistence fishing.
Connecticut’s Sewage Right-To-Know Act must be updated to better ensure notification of residents downstream of spills!
