A nearly $12.3 million project that’s part of the town’s multi-year water system capital improvement plan will soon go to a town vote. A special town meeting will take place at 7 p.m. Thursday in Meeting Room A of the Clifford J. Hurgin Municipal Center to schedule a referendum on funding for the proposed Bergstrom Well and Water Treatment Plant. Of the $12.3 million needed for the project, nearly $10 million would be for construction, roughly $1.8 million for professional services, $499,413 for contingency and $16,000 for legal fees. “It’s user-based, so the people who currently get town water will pay for this project and it’ll be over a 20-year loan,” he said. Straiton said their water rates will go up a bit, but it’s not yet known how much. “We’re applying for over $3 million in grants, which will help lower the cost, but the final number is not currently known,” he said.
