Connecticut environmental and educational officials on Tuesday praising a new Southbury wastewater pump station that will improve water quality in Transylvania Brook, which is a tributary to the Pomperaug River.
The Department of Developmental Services operated a wastewater treatment facility at the now demolish Southbury Training School that had reached well beyond its design life and its discharge was contributing to water quality in the area.
In June, the Division of Construction Services removed the discharge from the site and put in a new pump station to send all flows to the Heritage Village Water Pollution Control Facility.
DDS, DCS, and the Department of Energy & Environmental Protection held a ceremony Tuesday morning to recognize the importance of the upgrade to water quality in the area.
