CONNECTICUT RIVER RELIEF INTERCEPTOR
 

The Connecticut River at Riverfront Plaza in Hartford

The Connecticut River Relief Interceptor (CRRI) maximizes the conveyance of wet weather combined sewage to the Hartford Water Pollution Control Facility (HWPCF).  Along with completed plant improvements detailed in the Improvements to HWPCF, the second barrel of the interceptor provides the means by which the potential of sustained overflows at the Masseek Street regulator are significantly reduced once the original Connecticut River Interceptor approaches its capacity.  From the Masseek Street regulator southerly to the HWPCF, the two pipes will operate in parallel, thereby reducing the potential for overflows under springtime Connecticut River freshet conditions.
