Water Line Bond Issue

  For most of the 33 years I served on the Lisbon Water Commission,we delayed action on the proposed second connection between the wells in Lisbon and Lisbon Falls Village,due to the impact on user fees resulting from high construction costs and interest rates. Improvements  made during those years planned for this project with large mains on Upland and Wing Sts.  Voters now have the opportunity to take advantage of shared construction costs,stimulus monies and low interest rates to meet this goal.

      Presently the water supply to Lisbon Falls is dependent on almost a mile of cement-asbestos  main installed about 65 years ago, and it's useful life is subject to question. On the other hand, the cast-iron pipe in much of Lisbon Falls is 100 years old and still giving reliable service.

     As a resident of Lisbon for 80 years ,with many happy memories, I will always be interested in seeming the town prosper and progress. Accordingly ,I hope to see passage of this measure.
