Merrimack moves loan authorization for Penny Chuck pump station design to ballot
Summary
Town deliberative session moved an article to the ballot asking voters to authorize a Clean Water State Revolving Fund loan of up to $100,000 to fund a conceptual engineering design and cost estimate for the Penny Chuck water pump station; up to $55,000 may be principal forgiveness and $45,000 would come from user fees.
Merrimack voters will decide whether the town may accept a Clean Water State Revolving Fund loan of up to $100,000 to develop a conceptual engineering design and cost estimate to update the aging Penny Chuck water pump station. The loan program qualifies for up to $55,000 in principal forgiveness; the transcript states the remaining $45,000 would be covered by user fees.
The article was moved to the ballot during the deliberative session after a motion and a second. Meeting remarks described the purpose as funding the conceptual design and cost estimate for the Penny Chuck pump station; no further amendments or votes on the substance were recorded at the session.
No formal vote on the loan acceptance itself occurred at the deliberative session; the article was advanced so registered voters can vote on it at the upcoming ballot. Funding details in the meeting identified the Clean Water State Revolving Fund loan, the principal forgiveness amount, and the $45,000 user-fee contribution. The transcript did not include a roll-call vote or the names of the motion mover and seconder for this item.
If approved by voters on the ballot, the town would proceed with the design work and financing as described in the article.
