Great News for Stamford Residents and Motorists: DEP Just Doing Its Work


Great news for Stamford residents and motorists!

No- We are not seeing rolled back gasoline prices to the 1950's at 29 cents per gallon.

That would be great, but those good times are over.

What is good news is that under the direction of the Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) many of our gas stations are replacing their old leaking storage tanks with newer eco-friendly ones.

You may have seen a number of stations closing (then reopening) along High Ridge Road, Summer Street and Glenbrook Road. The stations are required to comply with DEP directives which effectively shuts them down for about 3-4 months while they make the necessary steps.

This is done to protect our drinking water from pollution.
