Haswell Avenue residents seek municipal water by extending a line under VT 67A from Globe Union to their homes. The request, debated at a village selectmen meeting, lies outside village jurisdiction and was referred to the new town water and sewer commission. Residents cited contaminated private wells and voiced frustration over intergovernmental confusion under the current system. Alfred W. Ellett noted the village cannot decide but will pursue options.
