Board updates stormwater work: MS4 mapping begins and town eyes vacuum truck grant
Summary
The board reported that MS4 mapping funded by a DEC grant will begin with a preliminary drive-through on the 27th; the town is considering a collaborative grant with Courtland to acquire a vacuum truck to clean catch basins and culverts.
A board member identified as Max updated the group on stormwater efforts and grant opportunities. Max said the town has engaged the town of Courtland to explore a collaborative grant for a vacuum truck to serve the highway department and that the consulting firm doing MS4 mapping will begin preliminary work on the 27th under a DEC-funded mapping grant.
Explaining the vacuum truck's role for community members, Max said it is used to clean out catch basins and culverts that fill with sediment and debris. "It's a truck that basically is used to clean out catch basins and culverts that are filled with sediment," Max said. The board noted the mapping will help the town apply later for a grant to purchase a vacuum truck.
No procurement decision was made at the meeting; the board said mapping work will proceed and that the vacuum-truck purchase would be pursued as a future grant application once mapping is complete.
