BROOKFIELD, CT — The town of Brookfield said there should be no cost to the town after a hazardous materials spill at Candlewood Lake Elementary School last week, The News Times reported.

The new school construction site is on the Huckleberry Hill School property. A hose burst on a concrete pump truck Friday and 5-15 gallons of hydraulic fluid leaked out, the town said. Students, staff, and neighbors were not at risk.
