The Metropolitan District Commission of Connecticut (MDC) is a public not-for-profit municipal corporation chartered by the Connecticut General Assembly in 1929 to provide potable water and sewer systems to the Hartford area. The original agreement tied together the water systems of Hartford, Bloomfield, Newington, Wethersfield, and Windsor, later adding West Hartford, Rocky Hill, and East Hartford to its membership.[1] As of 2023, the MDC serves much of the Greater Hartford region, reaching nearly 500,000 residents in its eight member cities and towns as well as parts of East Granby, Farmington,Glastonbury, Windsor Locks, South Windsor, and Portland.[2] The commission is run by a 29-member board of commissioners; 17 of which are appointed by the member towns, eight by the governor, and four by legislative leaders. The current Chairman of the MDC Board is Donald Currey, the husband of Melody Currey and father of Jeffrey Currey.[3] Its former chairman was William A. DiBella.
