WIREC update

Just a real brief update... I recalled a January '08 solid waste committee meeting. In the meeting we discussed the future of our current "waste to energy" facility. (It's a 5 town facility: Cheshire, Hamden, Meriden, North Haven and Wallingford??) Our existing contract expires in June 2009 and the town obviously needs to ensure continuous waste removal. So I started asking some questions about current "waste to energy" options... and apparently the technology has moved forward in leaps and bounds in the past few decades (or at least that's what the salesmen said!). So I'm going to try to get more information about that... though being in a five town consortium makes me doubt that a change of this nature would happen in the time available (approx 15 mos.)

With all the waste in the town budget, we should have plenty of energy

How about our liquid waste? It's a problem again now that the NE was approved. It went away for a while during the process??? Why???
