For many years, a goal of the citizens of Waterford has been to bury the overhead power and telephone wires and slow the traffic going through the town. The speeding traffic affects the historic buildings as well as the safety of the villagers and visitors. The overhead wires destroy the beauty and historical ambiance of the village that has made it a National Historic Village.
