WEST LEBANON Upper Valley municipal managers say the loss of a state grant program that helped New Hampshire towns and cities pay for costly wastewater upgrades will translate to higher tax and utility bills as they work to cover the funding shortfall.
The state’s two-year budget, signed into law last month by Republican Gov. Chris Sununu, reinstates a moratorium on new projects eligible for wastewater state aid grants.
The program, administered by the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services, is intended to offset the multimillion-dollar costs that municipalities can incur while improving their sewer systems and thereby provide an incentive to curb pollution.
