We don’t pronounce Versailles properly either heck we can’t even pronounce Thames right and that is an English word. Naming a river for the farmland it flows through sounds good too me. I used to love playing on the Westfield River growing up. You know the river that flows through the west fields.

So it looks like you had Torrington Water which was like Aquarian Water an investor owned water company and not owned by the town. At this point only small water companies invested owned and public are on the small side and don’t have the money or the will of the government to spend the money that needs to be spent to upgrade systems to bring them into federal and state compliance. Many times the state will hold the for profits hostage to buy little companies they really don’t want. I live in Florida now and would kill for my water bill to be as low and the quality at high when I was an Aquarian customer

You’re thinking of sugar on snow. You need to heat the syrup to almost carmalizing then put it on the snow.
