Voters at a town hall meeting in May initially rejected the education budget before approving a revised plan in late June.

NEW PRESTON — As hydrilla and other aquatic invasive species spread across Connecticut, a new watercraft inspection and decontamination program at Lake Waramaug is testing an additional defense against their spread from lake to lake.

Launched this spring, the program operates at two sites: a municipal inspection station at the Lake Waramaug boat ramp and a hot-water decontamination facility slightly more than a mile away at the New Preston firehouse on Route 202. Organizers describe it as Connecticut’s first fully integrated, lake-based watercraft inspection and decontamination program.
