It backed a charter provision to fold village zoning into a town system once villages vote to surrender charters, while water system consolidation remains unsettled amid legal questions supported by some but opposed by Old Bennington representatives.

Village water deal fuels North Bennington talks
The North Bennington consolidation committee weighs how the town water department should be run after unification. Debate centers on whether selectmen plus a town manager should oversee water mains or if a separate board of water commissioners is needed. Legal questions loom about Putnam's gift and the Deed of Gift affecting village water rights and future court challenges. Alfred W. Ellett notes his village board will review the consolidation act provisions on water.
