Hartford, CT – On June 26, Rep. John B. Larson (CT-01) released the following statement applauding Governor Lamont and the Connecticut General Assembly for supporting homeowners impacted by basement flooding and sewage backups in Hartford’s North End.

“I have heard from many homeowners in Hartford’s North End left with nowhere to turn but their personal savings to address basement flooding and sewage backup issues that have put their homes, health, and safety at risk,” said Larson. “My office has been working with federal, state, and local partners to find solutions to assist residents with damage and upgrade local infrastructure to prevent these issues in the future.

“I want to commend Governor Lamont and the Connecticut General Assembly, particularly Speaker Ritter and the Hartford delegation, for their work launching new programs using state and federal funds to protect homes from property damage, prevent sewage backups, and help homeowners defray costs associated with necessary home repairs. I am pleased that the state has decided to dedicate Clean Water Act funding we secured in Congress to support these efforts,” Larson continued.

“North End residents faced indiscriminate flooding in their homes at no fault of their own. I urge affected homeowners to apply for assistance when it becomes available to help defray the costs of home repairs and protect their properties from future damage,” Larson concluded.
