Back in 2014, #NewBritain agreed to sell water to #Plainville's Valley Water for use by the Tilcon quarry on N Mountain Rd. If Tilcon expands quarry by 83 acres, how will it affect New Britain water supply? The Woodford Ave Aquifer also extends under that land. #Connecticut

Restore the #EPA and fight for #EnvironmentalJustice. Our air, water, and soil belongs to all of us and must be protected!
