Hinsdale records $198,000 Belmont grant; engineer offers MassDEP coordination and town to review rates in December
Summary
The town recorded a $198,000 grant for the Belmont project; Mike Kulig of Berkshire Engineering offered to work with the town and pursue MassDEP coordination, and members agreed to review water and sewer rates in December.
Hinsdale officials recorded receipt of a $198,000 grant for the Belmont project during the March 12 joint meeting of the Water and Sewer Advisory Committee and Select Board.
Mike Kulig of Berkshire Engineering told the board he is willing to work with the town and to go to the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection with a plan related to water and sewer needs or project permitting. The minutes do not specify the exact purpose or source of the grant beyond its use for the Belmont project.
Members also discussed capital expenses and noted a plan to review water and sewer rates in December to determine whether additional increases are necessary. The minutes reference an item transcribed as “metering camps”; the record does not clarify that term, and the minutes do not provide technical details or dollar-by-dollar capital allocations.
No formal motions approving project designs, contracts, or rate increases were recorded at the meeting; the conversation was recorded as discussion and direction to coordinate with engineering and permitting authorities.
