Bennington Board Plans Hydrant Installations by Park Street

James Farmer, the school's business manager, asked about extending a water main along Park Street and the projected school cost. The board renewed its offer from July while noting current pressure may suffice but preferring closer hydrants amid possible future line extensions.
