Connecticut’s Department of Energy and Environmental Protection reports that during the 2014 boating season, pumpout facilities removed a record level of 995,000 gallons of recreational marine sewage from vessels in Long Island Sound and Candlewood Lake.
“With this impressive record on the books, our sights in 2015 are set on the next milestone — one million gallons,” said DEEP Commissioner Robert Klee.
For the 2015 boating season, 44 Connecticut marine facilities will receive $1,034,598.47 in funding under the DEEP’s annual Federal Clean Vessel Act program to provide boat sewage disposal facilities, more commonly known as pumpouts.
