In the Headlines: Illegal dirt bikers and ATV riders threaten the quality of drinking water
Oct 02, 2023NORTH BRANFORD, Conn. (WTNH) — The Regional Water Authority (RWA) is warning of a threat to the quality of your drinking water. It comes from illegal dirt bikes and ATVs riding on RWA’s property. The water company is now seeking the public’s help cracking down on the trespassers.
A couple was hiking on Regional Water Authority property with a permit when ATVs and dirt bikes came racing down the trail. The couple captured the illegal activity on video and shared it with police. Those vehicles are not allowed on any RWA land.
“They just ride too fast, I’m afraid, for safety concerns of people who have a permit and are hiking with their family,” said Capt. Paul Ruggiero of the Regional Water Authority Police Dept. “It’s dangerous. It’s very dangerous.”
