Be a NIMBY for the Niantic
We want you to be a NIMBY for the Niantic River: Niantic In My Back Yard. If you are in the Niantic River Watershed, which includes parts of East Lyme, Waterford, Salem, and Montville, then drainage from your site ends up in local streams and into the Niantic River. This means we are responsible for what happens to the Niantic River.
