Local interest in special protections for the Farmington River began in the early 1980's when the Metropolitan District Commission (MDC), the utility supplying water to about 400,000 people of the greater Hartford area, proposed a diversion from existing water supply and multiple-use reservoirs on the West Branch to augment their supply.
This initial study, finalized in 1984, concluded that the Farmington River possessed a variety of significant resources, and that both local residents and government officials were dedicated to conserving river qualities.
Responses to questionnaires reflecting landowner and resident support for river conservation were compiled (the greatest perceived threats to the river were from water pollution, growing population and commercial development; the activities to be encouraged were water quality and flow protection, and wildlife habitat, forest lands and scenic quality conservation).
