The Bethel Board of Selectmen is establishing a Charter Revision Commission. The Charter requires a review every five years to be sure that it remains consistent with state laws and statutes.  If during the review, changes to the charter are required, the commission would make those recommendations.

Interested parties may send in a letter of interest to the First Selectman's office, or to their respective town committees by March 30th.

While I agree with Mr. & Mrs. Fiddes' position, in order for Bethel to remedy the situation…Read More itself means that town money will have to be spent. There is quite a vocal constituency that considers raising taxes to pay for *anything* an outrage. If that group can be swayed by this issue, then perhaps we can keep Aquarion out.

Michael's group, the CEO of Aquarion admitted they expected $2 million/year profits eventually from the Bethel system. Where will this "excess" money come from? Bethel homeowners who have the misfortune to be connected to Aquarion water, that's who! It's more fair to spread the financial burden & lower the costs, and in the meanwhile protect the aquifers and people's wells. Aquarion is not the cost-free convenient savior Knickerbrocker makes them out to be.

David Drazul June 18, 2013 at 02:21 pm
I don't see any point where Knickerbocker said Aquarion was "cost-free". He did say that…Read More he, DPUC, and BOS felt that they could make the improvements at a "lower cost" than Bethel could. Since Danbury wouldn't build let Bethel build the water tank on the Eureka Lake property, they had to explore other options. If Danbury had given permission to build the water tank, this wouldn't even be an issue.
