• Human waste found in Stonington cove, testing shows (wfsb.com) — Human sewage contamination has been detected at Wequetequock Cove in Stonington, and town officials say roughly 45 failing septic systems may be to blame, potentially costing millions to fix. Local leaders are weighing new ordinances on septic pumping and inspections, while neighbors push for mandatory well testing after some residents already paid thousands to replace contaminated wells.
• Stonington looks for first win at Montville-St. Bernard (thewesterlysun.com) — Stonington High's football team is still chasing its first win of the season as it heads to Montville-St. Bernard for a key ECC Division 3 matchup. After four straight losses but a big offensive showing against Waterford, the Bears are banking on lineup tweaks and standout performances from quarterback Ben Thomas and his receivers to finally turn things around.
• New Connecticut driving law restricts left lane to passing only (thewesterlysun.com) — Drivers in Stonington and across Connecticut now face fines if they cruise in the left lane instead of using it only for passing, taking exits, or avoiding hazards. A new statewide law that took effect October 1 expands left-lane restrictions to all vehicles, backed by a "Pass Left Drive Right" awareness campaign and new highway signs.
