• Former CT city superintendent arrested for allegedly ‘fabricating' education, workplace experience (courant.com) — Prospect residents were among those affected when a major Waterbury water main failure in December disrupted potable water service across several towns and local hospitals. The piece explains that Waterbury’s former water superintendent has now been arrested, accused of falsifying his education and work history to get the job, though police say those allegations are not directly tied to the hydrant and water flow problems still under investigation.
