Wires Up Nine Feet For More Landfill Space
The Western Mass Electric Co lines crossing the landfill area will be raised by 10 feet to gain two additional years of disposal space behind East Street. Mayor Del Gallo and five council members approved the plan with an estimated cost of about $5,000, funds and payment responsibility unresolved.
