    The Vermont Small Hydro Referendum

    VSHA is initiating a grass-roots effort to bring small-scale hydro power to Vermont cities and towns. With signatures from at least 5% of registered voters, a town can be on its way toward energy independence. Generally, signatures are due at the Town Clerk's office by the middle of January  (this is done) and was included on the 2007 Town Meeting ballot.

    Vermont Communities that Own Dams - Here is a list that Community Hydro has put together of cities, towns, fire districts and municipal utilities in Vermont that own dams.

    Small Hydro Brochure

    We've created a brochure to help you spread the word about small hydro. You can download it in two versions:
    Standard PDF - This is an Adobe Acrobat reader file (233K) that will print nicely on 8.5"x11" paper. It's got all the details on the benefits of small hydro. And it includes language to help get our referendum supporting small hydro (see below) on your Town Meeting ballot.

    Publisher Version - This is the same brochure as a Microsoft Publisher file (470K). If you have Publisher, you can edit the brochure to meet your own community's needs. You might also find that your local print shop can help with the editing as well.
