Fredonia votes to shut down plant, get water from Dunkirk

Fredonia's trustees voted 3-2 Tuesday night to decommission the village water plant, draw down the reservoir and acquire water from Dunkirk.

Trustees David Bird, Jon Espersen and Nicole Siracuse voted yes. Trustees James Lynden and Michelle Twichell voted no.

Lynden and Twichell got no support from the three other trustees on a motion to fix the current village water infrastructure, without doing water acquisition from Dunkirk.

The trustees unanimously tabled a resolution backed by Mayor Douglas Essek to fix the infrastructure but also open a new supply line from Dunkirk.
