§ 403. Taking of water and land for water system
Said Town is hereby authorized and empowered under any vote hereafter had for that
purpose, through the Selectboard, to take, in addition to the water rights and appurtenances
thereof, already owned or acquired by said Town, the waters of any fountains, springs,
ponds, or streams for the purpose of affording said Town or any of the inhabitants
of the Town of Chester a supply of water for fire, domestic, and other purposes, and
may acquire the same by purchase or by right of eminent domain, and in like manner
may take and hold such real estate as may be necessary for preventing the pollution
