Letter to the Editor: Vote 'Yes' for Clean Water

The Clean Water project is a referendum question on the Nov. 6 ballot for all MDC member towns, including West Hartford.

To The Editor:

On November 6th, vote YES for Clean Water on the ballot question. This referendum affords us all the opportunity to continue to repair our 100-year-old sewer system, to prevent our sewage from overflowing into our homes and streets and to keep raw sewage out of the Connecticut River, Long Island Sound and other tributaries.

A YES vote assures us that the on time, under budget work of the first phase will continue, allowing sustained progress in accordance with the US Environmental Protection Agency and Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection mandate.  The alternative of allowing hundreds of millions of gallons of raw sewage mixed with storm water overflow to dump into the Connecticut River is unacceptable.
