HARTFORD - State regulators have sued the owners of the former Sibley 
Co., alleging that they failed to complete a study of any pollution 
emanating from their property in the Tylerville section of Haddam.

For decades, Tylerville residents have coped with contaminated 
groundwater. A group of residents around the former Sibley Co. property

The state is seeking a civil penalty of $25,000 a day against the former

Hartford.
