Barton builds improved sewer and water system
By Wendy Post

After spending many years without a sewer system and an insufficient supply of water, the town of Barton was able to acquire a new system that is now supplied to 285 customers. Because the project qualified for points as a Rural Economic Area Partnership Zone, the project received over 4 million dollars in grants and loans.

This infrastructure development will attract potential businesses, will help improve housing stock and enhance the overall quality of life in this heavily populated area of the Town of Barton.

The system, which was half grant and half loan, is complete with only final grading remaining. The new tank , which is located on Levis Road, holds 750,000 gallons of water. According to Bill Hotchkiss, Town of Barton Supervisor, the Village of Waverly offered help with the project. "They have great expertise in water and sewer," said Hotchkiss.
