The Bristol Selectboard will be hosting a public information meeting on Monday, November 7, at 7:00pm, to provide information, answer questions, and receive comments from citizens regarding the proposed bond vote seeking authorization to borrow up to $940,000 over 30 years to replace the circa 1905 water line on Pine Street. If approved, this project will:

• Replace approx. 2,570 feet of 117 year-old, unlined, cast iron water main pipe that is beyond its useful life (roughly 70 – 80 years);
• Replace the service lines from the main to the curb stops with new copper pipe;
• Reduce the need to interrupt water service to deal with emergencies, such as water line breaks or leaks;
• Improve distribution system reliability; and
• Result in the street being repaved.

There is no viable alternative to replacement. The overall system has a 50+ % leakage rate, compared to a < 20% rate for a typical municipal system. What is the cost of doing nothing? How will the bond affect water district ratepayers? Comments or questions? Contact Town Administrator Valerie Capels at (802) 453-2410 or townadmin@birstolvt.org.
