BRIDGEPORT — When heavy rains deluge Bridgeport and storm water pours into the aged sewer pipes and the two sewage plants, the city releases untreated or partially treated waste from 30 different bypass sites to avoid backups or uncontrolled spills. According to a state Department of Energy and Environmental Protection map of those legal overflow locations, that sewage can flush into local waterways — Bridgeport and Black Rock harbors, the Pequonnock River, Burr, Ash, Johnson’s and Cedar creeks, Island Brook and Yellow Mill Pond. And then, eventually, the sewage ends up in Long Island Sound.
