Water Expert Engaged by Bennington Village Board
The Bennington Village Water Board hired Wilbur C. Rice, president of Flomatic Corp., to study diminished water pressure and supply at high elevations. Rice, labeling himself an amateur, has not reviewed the town’s $15,000 master water plan by Dufresne and Henry and appeared before the board with geodetic maps. The move follows four months of resident pressure on village commissioners over inadequate water to Margaret Lane homes.
