THE WATERSHED
The West River and its tributaries flow through Prospect, Bethany, Woodbridge, Hamden, Orange, New Haven and West Haven before entering New Haven Harbor and eventually the Long Island Sound. The watershed drains approximately 35 square miles and is roughly 25 miles in length from source to Sound. 75,000 people live within this watershed.
The West River is a resource. It is under threat.
There's a river in our community. It belongs to all of us.
