Waterford — The town has set Tuesday, May 31, as the date for its referendum on an Eversource contract to heat two municipal buildings with natural gas.

Opponents of the Representative Town Meeting's April 14 approval of a 15-year contract to deliver natural gas to the town police and public safety buildings gathered enough signatures on a petition last month to force the town's first referendum in nearly 20 years.

All four voting precincts will be open from noon to 8 p.m. May 31. The District 1 polling place is Town Hall, District 2 is Quaker Hill Elementary School, District 3 is Oswegatchie Elementary School and District 4 is Great Neck Elementary School.

Comment threads are monitored for 48 hours after publication and then closed.
