Spe­cial Project: Beyond the Over­flows

For more than a cen­tu­ry, streets and build­ings in Hart­ford, Con­necti­cut have suf­fered reg­u­lar floods from sewage over­flows. Every time it rains, untreat­ed human waste mix­es with road runoff and ends up untreat­ed in streams, the Park Riv­er and the Con­necti­cut Riv­er. Decades remain before upgrades to the com­bined sewage sys­tem, which dates to the mid-1800s, will fix the prob­lem.

Eight UConn Jour­nal­ism stu­dents spent three months report­ing on the envi­ron­men­tal impact, the solu­tions under­way and the real-life, some­times dev­as­tat­ing impact this pol­lu­tion has exact­ed on the peo­ple who have endured it for a life­time.
