The Prudential Committee will be asking the Foothills residents to vote on a $66,000 bond from the Vermont Drinking Water State Revolving Fund. The monies are needed to pay for the new greensand filter, associated support structure and other miscellaneous upgrades to the filtration system that were installed last summer. The bond is necessary as JFD #1 does not have enough reserves to cover the cost of the project. The revolving fund program provides low cost financing to municipal water systems for capital improvements.
More details will be forthcoming in the near future. Please see the special Warning for the information meeting (December 12) and the vote day (December 19).
