1. With 1st CT Human West Nile Case Announced, How Has Mosquito Testing Gone In Glastonbury ? (patch.com) — Glastonbury residents are learning that all 91 mosquitoes tested at the Tryon Street station have come back negative for West Nile virus, even as the state reports its first human case of the year. Health officials still warn that mosquito activity and positive tests are peaking statewide, urging Glastonbury and other communities to reduce standing water and take precautions against bites through early fall.
2. Eversource helicopters to inspect power lines in Connecticut (fox61.com) — Expect to see low-flying Eversource helicopters over Glastonbury between now and September 3 as crews inspect high‑voltage transmission lines for storm preparedness and reliability. Flights will run daily, weather permitting, from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. across multiple central Connecticut communities, with two clearly marked helicopters checking for vegetation and equipment issues.
3. Spotted lanternflies threaten Connecticut vineyards (wfsb.com) — A historic South Glastonbury vineyard is battling a worsening spotted lanternfly infestation that threatens its century-old Concord grapes and wine business. Local growers describe spraying, trapping, and other control efforts, while warning that the invasive pest could have broader consequences for Connecticut's agriculture industry if it continues to spread.
