Hinesburg's new wastewater treatment plant has officially begun operations after a seven-year development and over four years of construction, funded by nearly $19 million in bonds and grants. The facility replaces an inadequate lagoon system, significantly improving water quality by reducing contaminants and is designed to handle up to 325,000 gallons per day. Local officials aim to expand the user base, with new housing developments expected to add 47 users, thereby lowering costs for ratepayers.
