Eminent domain is being used in Newtown to install underground gas utility pipes beneath Crestwood Drive, a private residential road.  The Newtown Bee reports that the town has been unable to reach an acceptable settlement with the road owner adjacent to Sandy Hook Elementary School.  Eminent Domain was used to take an underground right of way.   The move was discussed by the Board of Selectmen last week after negotiations on purchasing the easement failed again.  The work would be performed by town crews and the infrastructure would be Eversource Energy material.
