Naugatuck Doesn't Want Oxford Power Plant's Wastewater

The Naugatuck Water Pollution Control Authority has asked the owners of the proposed Oxford-based power plant not to send its wastewater to the Borough, reports Paul Singley of the Republican-American.

The Borough has spent millions of dollars to prevent stormwater from entering the plant.

Naugatuck officials asked the company to keep its stormwater on their site, Singley reports.

Massachusetts-based Competitive Power Venture, the company seeking to built the power plant in Oxford, is due to appear before the WPCA on April 16.

The company had sought to use Naugatuck’s wastewater treatment plant, which serves Oxford businesses and residents.

The proposed power plant would be constructed in an industrial zone on Woodruff Hill Road in Oxford that borders Middlebury and Naugatuck.
