GREAT BARRINGTON — Questions, comments, concerns? Residents of Housatonic were given the virtual floor Tuesday evening in a Zoom meeting hosted by the Select Board. Ongoing problems with the village’s water supply proved the main concern, as did traffic and the upkeep of town-owned property. “I’m so tired of bathing the kids in water that is disgusting,” said Denise Forbes, one of several residents who raised the issue of the village’s problematic water supply. “And I look at my towels when I take them out, and the towels are stained from this water.” An engineering report commissioned by the town to study infrastructure problems with the village’s private water provider, Housatonic Water Works, was released in June. The report said upgrades, replacements and changes to bring the system up to snuff would cost an estimated $31 million. The Select Board will host a second engineering presentation on Monday.
