• Man posed as contractor, stole $40,500 from CT homeowners, police say (ctinsider.com) — A Bloomfield man is accused of taking $40,500 upfront from two West Hartford homeowners for jobs that were never completed. Police arrested Richard Kiely, 35, on larceny and contractor-impersonation charges Nov. 5. He posted a $38,000 bond and is scheduled for arraignment in Hartford Nov. 19. 
• MDC customers could see higher water and sewer bills in 2027 (wfsb.com) — Bloomfield households could face higher water and sewer costs under the MDC's proposed 2027 budget, with a typical residential customer's combined annual bill rising about $114. The budget remains unapproved, and nearly half the proposed sewer budget increase reflects operating costs for a new storage tunnel and pump station.
