Water Pollution Control Authority members on Tuesday voted unanimously to support a plan to bond $10 million to pay for what they describe as critical repairs to the town’s three sewer plants and 17 pumping stations. After a virtual public hearing, the authority voted to send the proposal on to the Board of Selectmen and Board of Finance, which will vote whether to approve the bonding. There will be no referendum vote on the project due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The bond also will allow the authority to study a long-term solution of eventually replacing the three plants with one facility to serve the whole town. If the bond is approved, the WPCA plans to return the $1 million in the 2020-21 budget for sewer system capital improvements to the town.
