WASHINGTON â The Board of Selectmen, meeting Thursday, May 13, heard from Edwin Matthews, president of the Shepaug River Association, who addressed an agreement negotiated with Waterbury regarding management of that cityâs water system and its impact on the Shepaug River.
Since the agreement was signed in 2005, the river association has hired a hydraulic expert every three years to analyze Waterburyâs performance to produce a detailed report to demonstrate issues such as water conservation.
Mr. Matthews said the city wastes about 30 percent of its water, for which it receives no revenue, due to leaks. âThatâs a shame.â
He shared a summary of issues and recommended hiring a consultant to defend the town and river. âWhat we have now is an opportunity to coach Waterbury into adopting water conservation efforts⦠which will be essential to saving the river.â

LITCHFIELD Small business owners came together on Monday for a virtual discussion of the economic conditions they’re working under during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The inaugural small business forum sponsored by the town’s Economic Development Commission drew more than a dozen participants, including First Selectman Denise Raap, an owner of the Village Restaurant.
Raap and business consultant Betsy Painter, who is working under a two-year contract with the Northwest Hills Council of Elected Officials, led the discussion.
“Our focus will be to talk about ways we can thrive and how we can support storefronts that are struggling,” Raap said. “Through conversation and sharing, we can develop a strategy. We can also let our residents know how important it is to shop local.”
