IT'S OFFICIAL: MORE WATER COMING FOR POPULAR DURHAM FAIR
House Republican Press Release -- June 13, 2008
HARTFORD - Governor M. Jodi Rell signed into law Thursday a bill championed by state Rep. Raymond Kalinowski (R-Durham) and Sen. Ed Meyer (D-Guilford) that will provide The Durham Fair with the ability to withdraw up to 100,000 gallons of water per day every year for three days without the typically required water diversion permit and hydrogeological study.
The new act will save Durham residents approximately $200,000 for the cost of such a study and permit, and will allow the largest agricultural fair in Connecticut - and the largest fair in North America without a paid manager or staff - to meet all its water needs. Approximately 240,000 people attended The Durham Fair in 2007.
