Voters approved a plan to build a $2.24 million tank that is meant to increase storage and ensure water is cleaner. Residents voted 660 to 240 in favor of the 500,000-gallon Chestnut Ridge tank in Tuesday’s referendum, according to unofficial results. Money for the project would come from water customer rates, not taxpayer funds. Grants and low-interest financing may be available from the state. That tank went online in 2016 and is in Danbury, but serves Bethel customers. Construction could start in the spring, with the tank going online in nine to 12 months, the public utilities director has said.
