Summary
An unidentified speaker said Plainville broke ground on a long‑awaited water treatment plant, secured $750,000 in Clean Water Trust loan forgiveness and 0% interest on the first $15,000,000 of financing, and renewed regional water and sewer partnerships.
An unidentified speaker delivering Plainville's state-of-the-town address said the town this year "marked the major milestone with the groundbreaking of our long awaited water treatment plant, a crucial investment in health, regulatory compliance, and long term water security."
The speaker credited town financial staff with securing Clean Water Trust loan forgiveness of $750,000 and obtaining "0% interest on the first $15,000,000," saying the financing will help control future costs. The address also announced renewed agreements with North Attleborough for water and sewer services, which the speaker described as guaranteeing "reliable, cost effective regional cooperation."
The speaker said the town has initiated a replacement of aging water meters to "improv[e] accuracy, transparency, and customer service" and that the completed inflow and infiltration project has reduced groundwater entering the sewer system, saving treatment costs and enabling the town to open sewer access beyond hardship cases.
No formal vote or ordinance was recorded in the transcript; the remarks were delivered as part of a state-of-the-town address. The town presented the items as completed or underway and framed them as steps to strengthen long-term water security and fiscal stability.
