The Brookfield Water Pollution Control Authority is looking to buy a $500,000 facility on Commerce Road.   A town meeting on the request is being held tonight.  The Planning and Zoning Commission and Board of Selectmen approved the purchase, but the Board of Finance had rejected it. 

Since the Authority is funded through user fees, the decision on the 3,000-square-foot space can be decided by Town Meeting. 

Six employees are now working out of a 285-square-foot office in Town Hall.  The bigger office space would include room for storage.  The Authority was previously asked by the Board of Finance about renting a place, but a 1,000-square foot facility in the Town Center District would have cost the same as the proposed mortgage. 

Tonight's town meeting is at 7pm in Brookfield Town Hall.
