Water Board Raises Alarm Over Bolles Brook Project Delays
The Bennington water board voiced concern about delays in final engineering plans for the Bolles Brook water source project. Whitman and Howard have not delivered, prompting the town attorney to contact project lead Pittendreigh to determine hold ups. Plans hoped to be ready for bidding by February with construction slated around April, but officials now doubt work can start before May. The board also considered funding moves to secure property for a 500000 gallon settling basin and discussed whether to route the 16 inch pipeline along Harbor Road or the new VT 9 alignment, aiming to avoid private right of way payments while ensuring service to old-road properties.
