    Unhappy Dalton sewer break leaking untreated liquid into Housatonic River

    Might not wanna go for a swim in the Housatonic south of Dalton for awhile. As if the PCBs weren't bad enough...

    You mean, now in addition to the PCB-poisoned fish, there may also be some "finless browns?"

    Say what you will, it makes for great fishing down here.

    Yeah, you really didn’t want to go swimming there even before the break!

    Wondering what the guy who called me a "scaredy cat" for filtering water would have to say about this...

    If someone called me a scaredy cat for filtering my water then I don’t think I’d really care what they had to say about anything.

    Kind of makes one wonder how many septic systems are actively leaking into streams well away from populated areas...

    How about all the times when the Housatonic floods and covers all the leaching fields on my road
