Feb 18, 2025

DPW reported the sewer crew is understaffed at two employees and continues to battle wipes in the system, while SCADA work finishes and meter and hydrant projects proceed.

The full story

DPW Director Dennis Morton told the Selectboard the Sewer Department had two employees and the department is seeking to add a third. He reported the department's monthly reports and sampling are up to date and said SCADA work is wrapping up. Morton urged residents to stop flushing disposable wipes, saying the wipes are causing system problems: "Wipes are a continued issue in the sewer system and is urgently asking residents to stop flushing anything but toilet paper."
