The Hartford Courant has the best coverage of this story.
http://www.courant.com/
One of the videos shows an interview with a resident who lived across
the river; he said he got a phone call this week saying that they were
going to purge the lines on Sunday morning. He said they did the same
thing last week.
Some good coverage here...
