Willimantic Votes for Municipal Ice Plant Benefits
Willimantic residents approved a municipal ice plant in 1915, lowering prices from private dealers. The city will distribute 43 to 45 cents per hundred this summer under contract, with private dealers delivering under city-specified limits. If private delivery breaks, the city will resume supplying ice locally from the municipal plant. Hartford plans a study by Common Council members on the Willimantic model.
