Water Works Purchase in Bristol Should Be Town Owned
A prominent citizen argues Bristol should own its water works if bought at a fair price. The piece notes the contract with Geo H Norman sets conditions for a complete system, rights to be gained, and that valuation should reflect public benefit and possible savings on rates. It cites Massachusetts towns as models of self sustaining systems with lower rates and better service potential.
