Fairfield Pond Split Over Recreation Use Status
Fairfield residents are divided over reclassifying Fairfield Pond from class A to allow recreational use. A Vermont Water Resources Board hearing drew about 75 people, including Swanton Town Manager Orman Croft who warns drinking water would be at risk.
