WILTON The town may soon have a solar energy option, with a metering station and solar field being discussed as a possible project on a landfill in town.
The landfill, which Department of Public Works and Facilities Chris Burney said encapsulates 71 acres, is being pegged as the possible location due to its size, terrain and inability to utilize the land otherwise.
