The Select Board voted unanimously to waive the individual meter connection fee of $2,662 for each of six units at Pollard Farms Condominiums to support the condominium association's request to install separate meters and bill units individually.

Town staff explained that the development was originally served by a single meter; the condominium association and a trustee explained they pay higher per-capita sewer charges under the single-meter arrangement and want individual meters to equalize billing. The trustee, David Montlazier of Pollard Farms Condominium Trust, said the association is prepared to finance the plumbing work, which he estimated could cost more than $7,000 to complete per unit conversion, and requested the fee waiver to make the conversion financially feasible.

The town clarified that the meter hardware cost and reader (listed at $137.50 per meter) would still be charged and that the waiver covered only the connection/installation fee. The board noted similar waivers have been granted in the past for municipal developments and approved this request.

Motion language on the record: "I move that the board acting as the water, sewer, stormwater commissioners waive the individual meter connection fee of $2,662 for each of the 6 units at Pollard Farms Condominiums." The motion passed unanimously.
