LIVE: Narragansett Bay Commission’s Mesolella on Pursuing Providence Water Sale
Tuesday, May 15, 2018
Narragansett Bay Commission Chairman Vincent Mesolella appeared on GoLocal LIVE where he spoke to legislation pending at the General Assembly that would allow for the lease -- or sale -- of the Providence Water Supply.
Mesolella spoke to the conversation about the potential transaction having gone on for decades -- and what it would take for Providence and the legislature to move forward, and why he believes NBC would be well-suited to be the purchasing party.
Mesolella also addressed the issue of any potential costs for both non-Providence ratepayers as well as Providence ratepayers, and how as structured the actual purchase would not be passed along to the ratepayer, according to Mesolella.
