The fate of a proposal that would essentially double the amount of water diverted from the Greater Bridgeport system to southwestern Connecticut now rests in the hands of the state.
Environmental groups and residents from the Fairfield area spent two public hearings this past week objecting to a permit now before the state Department of Energy and Environmental Protection, citing negative impacts on residents and the watershed.

FAIRFIELD, CT — Fairfield residents and representatives voiced environmental concerns Tuesday about a proposal to double the amount of water diverted from the local system, including Cricker Brook and the Mill River watershed, to towns such as Greenwich and Stamford.
Aquarion Water Co. has filed an application with the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection to increase its diversion permit from 7.3 million gallons per day to 14.2 million gallons per day from the Bridgeport water system to the county's southwest region. The permit would require an annual diversion average of 12.6 million gallons per day, would last 25 years and would see a pipeline added in Fairfield in 2029.

FAIRFIELD — An Aquarion proposal to divert water to southwestern Connecticut has drawn backlash in Fairfield where the conservation commission says the project could harm the Mill River watershed.
The project is part of Aquarion’s long range plan to meet water needs in southwestern Fairfield County. If approved, it would divert up to 14.2 million gallons a day from the Greater Bridgeport System, which includes the Mill River watershed to the Southwest Regional Pipeline to serve Greenwich, New Canaan, Stamford and Darien.
