The moment we all have been patiently waiting for! The final project design was completed in August, and this allowed for project costs to come into focus. The selectboard also recently settled on a maximum bond amount of up to $400,000, which allowed the calculation of costs for users connected to the system, and taxpayers. Here are the costs, and the funds received from grants:
