CWIC Advisory Board have completed their initial training phase & with leadership of our water consultant, Dr. Rich Gullick. We have developed the transformative strategic plan to secure & sustain Chester’s water future.
A parallel Study conducted by UMASS/Amherst was simultaneously performed.
CWIC continues its evidence based research/review of Best Practices under direction of Dr. Gulick and will advise/recommend to the Board of Selectman/Water Commissioners, as appropriate.
The ongoing priority is improved water quality.
