The Waterford Fire Engine Company No. 1 started collecting bottled drinking water earlier this week to deliver to Texas residents who have been affected by Harvey and they have already received hundreds of cases.
“This is unbelievable to me. I’m surprised that this many people were able to actually come together and do this. I’m just supplying the place. It’s really the community that’s doing this and I have no words to thank them. Really, it’s unbelievable,” Joe Smith, a firefighter, said.
The firehouse on Rope Ferry Road collected water between 6 a.m. and 10 a.m.
The Steady Habit Brewing Company in Haddam is also helping with the effort and will be collecting water from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. today, Saturday from noon to 7 p.m. and Sunday, from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.
