Label TextRocky Hill was not part of the orignal area served by the MDC, but voted to join in the 1943. The Rocky Hill Water Pollution Control Facility, which appears on this map, was completed in 1958 for the treatment of raw sewage. Although the facility handles most of the sewage in Rocky Hill and a nieghboring portion of Wethersfield, some areas in the town are served by the Mattabessett District Water Pollution Control Facility, located in Cromwell.
