The Contoocook Valley School District's recent meeting on September 16, 2025, focused on critical repairs needed for the district's underground storage tanks. The district operates four tanks for number 2 fuel oil, located at Peterborough Elementary School, South Meadow School, the high school, and a shared tank at the Great Brook Antrim Elementary campus.

During the annual inspection, several issues were identified, including failures in the automatic tank gauge console, fill adapters, spill bucket tightness, and electrical fittings. The most significant concern was the need to replace cathodic protection anodes at South Meadow School, which is essential for maintaining the integrity of the double wall steel tanks.

The total cost for these repairs is estimated at $37,369.99. The work will be carried out by the district's long-time compliance contractor, who has been servicing the tanks for the past 11 years. This request highlights the district's commitment to maintaining safety and compliance with regulations regarding fuel storage.
