“Establishing an optimum flow regime in the Upper Farmington River remains one of our top priorities.

To this end, House Bill 5355 – AN ACT CONCERNING CONSERVATION OF CERTAIN WATERS OF THE UPPER FARMINGTON RIVER, will receive a public hearing on Friday, March 8 starting at 11 a.m. I encourage you to submit written and/or oral testimony. If you testify orally (in-person or Zoom) it should be accompanied by written testimony. The deadline to register is Thursday, March 7 at 3 pm.

Submit oral testimony here.

Submit written testimony here.

(Make sure to pick date March 8th. Then In the Bill field pick Bill HB05355.)

From early June, 2023. The water should be up past Michael’s knees, not just above his ankles. Help us end ridiculously low, unnecessary, harmful flows like this.
