Each spring, the New London area may notice a strong “rotten egg” odor in town-This smell is caused by hydrogen sulfide (H2S)—a naturally occurring gas that can be released from the New London Dam and surrounding waters. Beginning January 22, all New London area residents and business owners are encouraged to complete the Hydrogen Sulfide New London Area Community Survey. The survey will remain open until February 15th at 11:59 p.m. 

If you live in the area of New London, your feedback is essential. It will help us better understand how hydrogen sulfide odors impact daily life, business operations, tourism, and community well-being. The results will guide future efforts to identify and implement effective mitigation strategies.
