Town Council OKs 31000 Federal Sewer Survey Funds
The council approved 31000 in Federal funds to finance a long term sewer survey and endorsed the Army Corps of Engineers breakwater design. Anthony Marshall urged earlier approval for 37000 for a new comprehensive survey, but council chair William Sousa favored town meeting oversight for larger expenditures. Balzano argued Bristol needs an up to date future looking survey.
