Thank you Fall River

The Fall River City Council  voted unanimously to support two resolutions on May 14, 2017.

• The first resolution opposes the siting of the proposed Invenergy power plant plan in Burrillville and condemns the deal made between Benn Water and Heavy Transport and the Watuppa Water Board.
• The second resolution opposes the renewal of the water contract between Benn Water and Heavy Transport and the Watuppa Water Board when the contract requires renewal.

 “We appreciate the Fall River Council’s careful consideration of the proposed Invenergy power plant and applaud its decision to join dozens of other communities in opposing the plant,” said Burrillville Town Manager Michael Wood. “The City Council resolution opposing the renewal of the Watuppa Water Board contract again illustrates that Invenergy  is not ready for prime time with what is now its sixth proposed water plan in jeopardy.”

“Burrillville town leaders and community advocates have championed the effort in Fall River and we thank the Fall River City Council for keeping an open mind on the issue, and its independent, thoughtful conclusion to oppose the plant and the water contract,” Wood added.
