Proctor Selectboard minutes show 125 lead-service notices mailed; WWTF bond flyer set to be mailed
Summary
Minutes from the Town of Proctor Selectboard on Nov. 25 say 125 notices were mailed to properties that did not respond to a service-line survey; the sewer board is preparing a WWTF bond flyer to go out the first week of December and will host a January public meeting with A&E.
The Town of Proctor Selectboard minutes for Nov. 25 report that 125 notices were mailed to property owners who did not respond to a service-line survey or allow entry for inspection, warning about potential lead service lines. The minutes do not attribute the figure to a named speaker; it appears in the Board of Water Commissioners' section of the record.
The minutes also record sewer-board business: a bond flyer for the wastewater treatment facility (WWTF) is in the process of being printed and should be mailed the first week of December, and the Town Manager will invite A&E to a January public meeting on the WWTF bond. No additional details about the bond amount, timing of a vote, or ballot language were included in the minutes.
Why it matters: Notices about lead service lines affect homeowners' awareness of potential health risks and next steps for testing or remediation. A mailed bond flyer signals that the town is preparing to inform voters about a capital financing measure for the WWTF; a public meeting with the project engineer or A&E typically provides technical details and an opportunity for public questions.
What the minutes say and do not say: The record states the number of mailed notices (125) and that the WWTF flyer will be mailed, but it does not specify which properties received notices, whether any lead was confirmed, the estimated bond amount, or a schedule for a vote. The minutes also do not identify who prepared the flyer or the exact date for the January meeting beyond the month.
Next steps noted in the minutes: the Town Manager (Judy Frazier) is to speak with the DPW foreman about the service-line follow-up and will invite A&E to the January public meeting on the WWTF bond. The minutes show no formal vote on either the mailing of notices or the flyer; the actions are recorded as part of routine board business.
