Westport Sees Record Tide Threaten Harbor Front
Westport on October 19 faced a record tide from the Saugatuck River causing alarm as pumps ran for three hours to keep water from entering engine pits and the drawbridge. Salt water troubles the bridge machinery while residents moved stock from cellars and secured boats. A new water main is installed on King’s Highway to boost pressure. Children and local officials feature in a series of daytime events as the town braces for potential follow up tides.
