Bennington taps lead fund for water filter plant cost save
Bennington selectmen unanimously approved moving 150000 dollars from the lead pipe removal grant to the water filtration project after town engineer Eugene Bilodeau reported a 65000 dollar potential saving from trimming design. Low bid for the plant exceeded Bilodeau estimates by about 300000 dollars, prompting the funding shift with EDA approval.

Bennington Eyes Rubbish to Steam Plan as Viable
A study led by Gregory Burke of the Bennington County Regional Commission investigates turning local garbage into steam for industrial heating. Preliminary data from Shaeffer & Roland suggest a $5 per ton incineration cost, excluding revenue from steam and recyclables, though Town Manager Louis Savelas notes landfill disposal runs $2.25 per ton. The plan would also need a facility to separate burnable from salable trash, with varying household separation rates prior to and after five years. The project, funded with an $18,100 grant from the New England Regional Commission, began in August and is being tested in Bennington and nearby towns.
