Aquarion Water Co. is issuing free season fishing permits to three area reservoirs for people age 18 or older who have lost their jobs.
By presenting official proof of unemployment, along with a valid Connecticut fishing license, anglers can fish along designated shorelines of the company’s Saugatuck Reservoir in Weston, the Far Mill Reservoir in Shelton and the West Pequonnock Reservoir in Monroe. Permits to fish in those reservoirs usually cost $25.
“Looking for work can be a tough, full-time job, especially now,” said Charles V. Firlotte, Aquarion president. “We’d like to make it a little easier for people to relax after a day of pounding the pavement to find a new job.”
Free permits will be issued on Tuesday, April 28, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., at the Aquarion Environmental Center, 714 Black Rock Road (Route 5
, Easton.
