Here are the top three stories in The Haddams-Killingworth today:

1. According to a press release, the Connecticut Water Company has finalized a memorandum of agreement with four municipalities, including Killingworth, to transfer six parcels of land no longer needed for water supply purposes to be permanently preserved as open space. The land is intended to be used as passive open space for things like hiking and walking and observing and enjoying nature. (Middletown Press)
2. By reducing the number of adult mosquitoes, it reduces the risk of vector-borne diseases in the community, which is one reason why the town of Haddam is continuing its catch basin treatment, Mosquito Management program, with contractor Innovative Mosquito Management (IMM). IMM will be using Vectolex (Bacillus Sphaericus), which according to a press release, offers at least 30 days of effective control. This is a naturally occurring microbe and is an extremely effective agent for controlling many different species of mosquitoes. Treatments are made from a 49cc motor scooter and delivered directly into the catch basin or storm drain. Scooters will be clearly marked with the company name and flashers for safety.
