A plan to approve $10 million in bonding to pay for repairs to the town’s three sewer plants and pumping stations moved ahead Wednesday, as town and sewer officials agreed the project is badly needed. The Water Pollution Control Authority is now scheduled to hold a virtual public hearing on the bond requests June 16 at 5 p.m. There will be no referendum vote on the project due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which means the Board of Selectmen and Board of Finance will vote whether to approve the bonding. The eventual solution to the escalating costs of running three aging plants may be to replace them with one plant to serve the whole town. The boards on Wednesday discussed doing a study to consider that option.
