Water expansion plan push amid rising costs
The town will acquire watershed rights from Mrs. William R. Scott of New York City for Bolles Brook Bickford Hollow drainage for 50 years at no cost if the project bond is approved by next summer. Should approval fail, the agreement ends and renegotiation could be lengthy. Land options on Gibney and Braisted properties in Woodford must be executed by March or renegotiated. Costs have risen 35 percent since 1958 to May 1966, with further increases since. State law now allows a majority vote to approve bond issues for municipal water expansions. Easements along the pipeline require purchase at 30 cents per front foot after attempting highway rights of way. multiple state and local agencies must approve. The board emphasizes urgency to avoid delays and to proceed after Bennngton received a federal grant.
