Hwang hosts online forum on Aquarion Diversion
State Senator Tony Hwang will moderate a forum on Aquarion’s proposal to divert water from the Bridgeport/Fairfield/Easton Reservoir system to meet needs in towns in southwestern Fairfield County.
The online forum will be held Thursday, April 8, at 7 p.m. on fb.com/senatorhwang.

Hwang has invited representatives of the Mill River Wetlands Committee, Save the Sound, the Connecticut Public Utilities Regulatory Authority, the Rivers Alliance of Connecticut, the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection, and Aquarion to serve as expert panelists.
Aquarion’s proposal would send 14.2 million gallons of water per day for the next 25 years to towns in lower Fairfield County.
Nutmeg TU and the Connecticut Council have already weighed in on the proposal and are prepared to do so again. Click here to read TU’s comments.
The Connecticut DEEP will hold a public hearing May 4.
Absolutely not! If those towns have been such poor stewards of their own water sources, why should we let them take our water?
