Good morning, Hartford.

Neighboring fire departments helped cover Plainville Fire after volunteer firefighter Raymond Moreau died Sunday morning when a part broke off a fire truck and support will continue until Thursday’s memorial event to honor him (local crews remain deeply affected).

On July 29th, 2005, at the busy intersection of Route 44 and Route 10 in Farmington Valley, a dump truck lost its brakes and crashed into a transit bus and several cars—four people died, many were injured, and emergency crews took over 12 hours to clear the scene.

Connecticut will tighten its e-bike laws in October – bikes that are modified to reach speeds of 60 to 70 mph will need a driver’s license and proper insurance.

Lawmakers say the changes come after a rise in unsafe riding, especially by young riders who easily push these bikes past the normal 20 mph limit.

CT Mirror's investigation found that up to 8,000 lead service lines may still be in use across Connecticut, and water utilities are using door-to-door inspections and machine learning to locate them while planning repairs with a $99 million federal fund.

The report warns that older systems in cities like Waterbury, Greenwich and Willimantic could expose children to lead in their tap water — community events will be held to educate homeowners on the risks.
