The Stratford Star reports the Town Council unanimously approved the referendum vote after council members rejected resolutions to reconsider the sale of the sewer plant to the Greater New Haven Water Pollution Control Authority and to reconsider the ordinance that makes Stratford a member of the GNHWPCA.
