Officials: Wastewater overflow result of storm By Michael Gagne Record-Journal staff
MERIDEN — Officials reported an estimated 1.37 million gallons of combined rain and untreated wastewater was discharged into the Quinnipiac River as a result of the heavy rainfall that inundated the area on July 9. The overflow spilled from the city’s sewer treatment plant on Evansville Avenue into the Quinnipiac. Officials did not provide an
estimate for how much untreated sewage flowed into the river, but said it had been highly diluted by the rainwater, which accounted for most of the overflow. The city was one of several municipalities across Connecticut to report overflows of wastewater into local waterways as a result of the storm, according to the state Department of Energy and Environmental Protection.

THE BEES ARE BACK!
GOP unified against emergency powers The General Assembly voted last week for a 44-word resolution extending Gov. Ned Lamont’s emergency powers through Sept. 30, making Connecticut among the last in the northeast under a COVID-19 state of emergency.
“In this case, we think the governor has gone too far,” said Rep. David Yaccarino, one of the Republicans who praised Lamont’s overall management of the pandemic. “Governor, you did a good job. Put the brakes on.”
Lamont has lifted nearly all restrictions imposed under his emergency authority since March 9, 2020, with the most visible and contentious exception being a requirement for mask wearing by the unvaccinated in schools and other indoor public places.
House Minority Leader Vincent J. Candelora said he’s frustrated that Lamont views the emergency powers as all or nothing. See Powers, A2
