Connecticut issues fishing ban on West River after 2,600-gallon fuel spill; advisory lasts two weeks.
The Connecticut Department of Public Health has issued a two-week fishing advisory for the West River between Derby Avenue and Kimberly Avenue due to a fuel oil spill from a tanker truck crash on February 26.
The spill, involving 2,600 gallons of fuel oil, entered a storm drain leading to the river, prompting state and federal response.
Officials advise against eating fish from the area due to potential contamination affecting taste or odor, though no health risks are currently known.
The advisory will remain in effect until no visible sheen or odor is detected.
Water quality is being monitored, and updates will be provided.
A separate statewide advisory for mercury in freshwater fish remains in place.
