At the last Springfield Select Board meeting, two separate articles were voted to be put on the March ballot to sell the Weathersfield reservoir and the surrounding land.
In my opinion, this is a sad day for Springfield when a former water supply that furnished the whole town during the booming industrial days, is put up for sale (for the second time and was defeated by 620 votes). Also, the dam has been grossly neglected when the people voted to keep the dam in good repair, with money to do so, so as to preserve it.
For intelligent people to willfully try to sell a water supply is beyond my comprehension. Water is the most important commodity in the world. Also, to take this action shows an utter disrespect for the people of Springfield's wishes.
Finally, this reservoir has been found, after nine years of engineering studies, to be our only viable backup water supply.
Please keep this knowledge in mind when you go to the polls in March.
