Doing It’s Part to Save the Sound
New monitoring equipment and process improvements at Suffield’s Sewage Treatment Plant have resulted in a significant reduction in nitrogen discharge to the Connecticut River which ultimately impacts Long Island Sound. As measured by nitrogen removal, Suffield has the best performing municipal wastewater treatment facility in the state of Connecticut, according to a report prepared for the Suffield Water Pollution Control Authority (WPCA) by The Water Planet Company located in New London, CT. The process improvements implemented at the Suffield plant may have application to other treatment facilities in New England and beyond. Additional analysis is underway to verify the nitrogen reduction results to date, as well as to explore if these process improvements could be used as a model for other treatment facilities to adopt.

SECONDS COUNT IN AN EMERGENCY!
The Town of Suffield has instituted the CodeRED Notification System-an ultra high speed telephone communication service for emergency notifications. The system allows us to telephone all or targeted areas of the Town in case of an emergency situation that requires immediate action (such as a missing child or an evacuation notice). The system is capable of dialing 50,000 phone numbers per hour. It then delivers our recorded message to a live person or an answering machine, making three attempts to connect to any number.
CLICK HERE TO GET STARTED
THIS SYSTEM WILL ONLY BE USED FOR EMERGENCY PURPOSES!
Examples when the CodeRED system could be utilized: Drinking water contamination, utility outage, evacuation notice and route, missing persons, fires or floods, bomb threat, hostage situation, chemical spill or gas leak, and other emergency incidents where rapid and accurate notification is essential for life safety.
