Commissioners seek clearing of sewer easement at 335 West Main and recommend capping services at 171 West Main
Summary
Commissioners asked for the sewer easement beside the old Rite Aid at 335 West Main to be cleared and agreed to ask Selectmen to dig up and cap water and sewer services at the property edge of demolished 171 West Main to prevent unknown inflow.
Commissioner Dave Lewis told the commission that the sewer easement beside the former Rite Aid at 335 West Main Street is overgrown with brush and needs clearing. Administrator Penny Griffin said she will notify Alex Mellen to arrange clearing.
The Commission also discussed the recent demolition of 171 West Main. Griffin reported the contractor placed plugs in all drains and the sewer connection and covered them with flowable fill to prevent inflow to the town system. The Commissioners agreed they should ask the Selectmen to have the town’s water and sewer services excavated and capped at the property edge so any unknown, older drains remain disconnected until a future use is determined. Commissioners framed capping at the property edge as a way to reduce the risk of inflow into the sewer system.
The minutes record the Commission’s agreement to raise the capping request with the Selectmen; no timeline for the Selectmen’s action was recorded.
