Bristol Utilities Board Explores Water Expansion Steps
The Bristol County Public Service Commission, led by Rear Admiral Gilbert C. Hoover, considers urging the State Public Utilities Commission to involve Bristol County Water Company and local industries to study expanding water supply. A 1.5 million gallon daily need from Collins & Aikman Corp. sparked the issue, with the Water Company citing a $700000 outlay and seeking guarantees. A committee is to be formed from Bristol Warren and Barrington to press for action, including possible future condemnation and purchase of the water company.
