Peterborough and Jaffrey Select Boards are moving ahead with a formalized agreement to build and share a water plant on the Jaffrey border.
The plant is to be built on the property known as Cold Stone Spring, and its total cost is estimated at $12.6 million, with Peterborough responsible for a $7.7 million portion, and Jaffrey $4.9 million.
Both towns have already gotten approval from town voters for the project, which will purchase a property on the Jaffrey and Sharon town line with three certified drinking wells already dug. The towns have agreed to share the cost of building a water treatment facility on the property, and individually shoulder the cost of connecting it to their own water systems.
