Water project wins initial OK

Voters at Town Meeting supported a $3.39 million water-system proposal, which will go before residents in a townwide election scheduled for June 12. The money would pay for well-field, pumping-station, and water-main work along West River Street. The question passed at Town Meeting by a two-thirds majority. Other votes taken at the May 10 session: a majority approved $398,000 for Town Hall renovation designs; a two-thirds majority green-lighted $70,000 for water main improvements along Hartford Avenue North; and the Police Department was given $15,000 to acquire Tasers for its officers.
