Longer-form draft.
At the December 9 Water and Sewer Commission meeting, officials moved forward with a significant financial step for the town: approving a maximum bond of $1.3 million for a proposed solar array at the wastewater treatment plant. The project's cost has climbed to this $1.3 million mark due to site conditions and material contingencies. Furthermore, the Commission noted that they are still waiting to see if Eversource will require costly grid upgrades, which could change the project's feasibility. Beyond the immediate price tag, the decision raises important questions about inter-town cooperation. The Commission must now consult legal counsel to determine how this project aligns with the existing agreement with New London. There is also an ongoing debate regarding the fairness of the project's funding, specifically how to present a warrant article that primarily benefits sewer users to the general taxpayer base. Stay tuned as we monitor how the Commission navigates these legal and fiscal complexities. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/sunapee/water-sewer-commission/2025-12-09/ #MeetingWatch #SunapeeNH
