Contract Between Town of Coventry & Quidnick Reservoir Company Set To Expire
In 1994, a committee spearheaded by Ken Goodwin, Arnold Blasbalg and Leigh Johnson was able to broker a deal
between the Town of Coventry and Quidnick Reservoir Company regarding the water levels of Johnson's Pond.
An overview of this contract can be viewed on our Water Level Info page. This contract has a term of 15 years
which will be up next March 2009. Ken Goodwin has been elected (again) as the Chairman of the Water Affairs Committee
whose sole purpose is to hammer out another long-term contract between the Town of Coventry and Quidnick Reservoir Company.
This process is still in it's infancy and updates will be posted as progress is made.
