Killington Water System: A Vital Step Forward
The Town of Killington is advancing its infrastructure with the construction of a new municipal water system, aiming to provide service to properties along East Mountain and Killington Roads by the end of 2026. This initiative is a cornerstone of the broader Killington Forward plan, designed to support sustainable growth and enhance community well-being.
The water system project is financed through a combination of funding sources, including Tax Increment Financing (TIF), federal and state grants, and loans. TIF allows the town to fund public infrastructure improvements by leveraging future tax revenues generated from increased property values resulting from private developments, such as the Six Peaks Killington project.
Property owners will be responsible for connecting their properties to the new system from the curb stop or gate valve at the edge of the road right-of-way. The town will obtain a blanket Wastewater System and Potable Water Supply permit from the Vermont Agency of Natural Resources to streamline the permitting process for users committing to connect to the water service.
