Bristol Water Works Purchase Debate Report
Bristol town meeting reports a committee's findings on purchasing the Bristol and Warren Water Works. The panel concludes it is inadvisable to buy all or part of the plant due to required upgrades, high costs from 125000 to 150000 for new facilities, and complex division issues if only partial ownership is sought. Samuel P Colt present, committee notes financial barriers and technical needs for adequate domestic water service.

The Bristol Town Committee seeks to set terms for the Water Works takeover by contract under a 1907 act.
