Thank you to all Town Council members, especially Councilmen Herreshoff and Stuart. Yes, Councilman Stuart, we all want quality, quantity and reasonable water rates. Also, if a pipeline is eventually going to be connected to Pawtucket, why isn’t the existing proposed plan to East Providence going forth with a larger pipe size, which will be needed to connect to Pawtucket?

Tell me why a plan to purchase and install new meters takes precedence over a much needed back-up system. Can’t something be done with replacing the meters through attrition? Let’s hope this won’t be another Poppasquash Point issue.

We are constantly hearing how East Providence and Pawtucket are not ready to proceed ahead. Here is where all three towns (Bristol, Warren and Barrington) should apply pressure as needed.

My issue is not with the council by any means. My concern, as well as yours, is to move this project forward in a timely fashion. The council should ask the BCWA what is needed. My suggestion would be a major management change, starting with the top.
