A Special Town Meeting is being held in Redding tonight on two items.  One is to consider and vote on a Fracking Waste Ban.  The ordinance would prohibit the storage, disposal or use of waste from oil and gas exploration or extraction activities in the Town of Redding. 

The other item on the agenda is to vote on funding for plant upgrades at the Redding Wastewater Treatment Plant.  The $796,000 would be financed  through a combination of a municipal lease and the unassigned fund balance.  Membrane replacement and software upgrades are needed. 

The meeting at Redding Town Hall is set for 7pm.

Members of the Redding Water Pollution Control Commission previously reported to the Board of Selectmen that the independent power monitoring has been completed and the result of 21 power interruptions in a 30-day period suggests a transformer issue with Eversource. Eversource was contacted for further investigation.
