The Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP) and state Department of Public Health (DPH) have advised the public not to swim in or have recreational contact with water in some areas for the next 48 hours.
According to officials, tropical storm Ida may have caused some sewage discharge.
Water levels around the state were very high and there's a possibility of strong currents and hazardous debris in rivers and streams, said state officials.
This comes after remnants of Ida brought heavy rain and major flooding to Connecticut.
