Sarelas warns sewers can not support proposed developments
Town Manager Louis E. Sarelas told selectmen that the sewer system is over taxed and cannot handle the planned Wilk inson and Green ig developments on the west side of Bennington. The Wilkinson condo project won site plan approval, while Greenberg’s hearing was to continue. Sarelas announced plans to buy two submersible pumps and a new system for 3000 to upgrade the Rutter Road pumping station, noting previous pumps failed under higher load. The board approved the purchase with funds from the Sewer Department budget and planned to have Planning Commission chair John Griffin Jr. appear next week to address the expansion issue.
