Brookfield marina awarded DEEP grant for Candlewood Lake pumpout station

A Brookfield marina is being awarded a $1 million grant to help protect the quality of water in Candlewood Lake.  The state Department of Energy and Environmental Protection awarded Echo Bay Marina and 42 others a grant for a stationary and mobile sewage disposal facility.  The marine facilities provide 25% of the cost of each project. This marks the fourth consecutive year that more than 1 million gallons of boat sewage was removed from recreational boats in Long Island Sound and major tributaries, along with Candlewood Lake.  DEEP Commissioner Katie Dykes says the recreational boating industry supports more than 7,300 jobs in Connecticut, with an annual economic impact of more than $1.3 billion.  Dykes says in order to support this vital industry the waters must be kept clean and healthy.
