The Town of Voluntown has received a Community Investment Fund grant in the amount of $250,000 for the Community Water Study Project. This project includes the evaluation of potential water systems, preliminary designs, and public outreach and education on the installation of two community water systems in town. The two proposed areas of Town that are being looked at for potential community wells are the Bennett Circle area of Beach Pond and the Business District Downtown area of Town. The reasons for the community wells is to 1) remove private wells from small sized properties so there is room for septic improvements, 2)Encourage small business and multi-family housing development in the business district.
