STATE OF VERMONT

EVALUATION OF SMALL WATER SYSTEMS

The State of Vermont Water Supply Division like other States is faced with insuring that the thousand small public water systems comply with the numerous state and federal regulations recently promulgated. These regulations include the requirements for evaluation reports, long range master plans, up to date

Operation and Maintenance manuals and sinking funds for infrastructure replacement.

The Water Supply Division took a proactive approach to the problem and offered to complete the Evaluation Reports for systems making application at no cost to the water system. The response was overwhelming and about 100 systems applied for funding. The Water Supply Division split the State into four regions and received proposals from

18 engineering firms. Dufresne & Associates, PC was selected to complete reports for about 40 community systems in the Northeast Section of the State. The following community systems took place in the first round of funding:

Cady Pine Crest Mobile Home Park

East Birkshire Water Co-op
