Select Board selects Otter Creek for water testing, directs application for planning advance

Feb 9, 2026

Highgate selected Otter Creek to perform public water system engineering and planning tests and authorized the town administrator to apply for a state priority list and planning advance; staff said testing could cost $14,000–$20,000 (possibly up to $30,000) and a planning advance of about $100,000 should cover planning costs.

The full story

The Select Board approved Otter Creek to provide engineering planning and testing for a proposed groundwater and well project. The RFQ process followed Brooks Act requirements for engineering services, and staff said selection is qualifications-based; a contract will be returned to the board for review before execution.
