Board approves replacing corroded UV filtration unit serving town hall and fire department
Summary
Town staff reported a corroded and disconnected UV light filtration unit that serves town hall and the fire department. The board agreed to proceed with replacement to avoid failed water tests and additional state requirements; quote ~ $2,595 was presented.
Town staff informed the Sandown Board of Selectmen that the UV light filtration unit serving both town hall and the fire department is corroded and currently not functioning. The board reviewed a replacement quote of approximately $2,595 and agreed the unit should be replaced to avoid service interruptions and the risk of failing a state water test.
A staff member explained that the unit is roughly 16–20 years old and that wiring was corroded and disconnected. The board agreed to proceed promptly on public-health grounds rather than wait until a failed test triggers more onerous state requirements.
Next steps: staff will finalize the purchase order and schedule replacement work to restore the filtration unit to service and then report completion to the board.
