Proctor convenes water and sewer commissioners; sewer discussion centers on lagoon work and likely March bond vote
Summary
The Selectboard recessed to the Board of Water Commissioners to circulate water rate signatures and then met as the Board of Sewer Commissioners, where members discussed lagoon maintenance and a likely March bond vote, and considered public outreach options including a comment‑free Public Works social page and a quarterly newsletter.
At 6:21 p.m. the Selectboard adjourned to convene the Board of Water Commissioners to finalize paperwork for water rates that were approved June 24, 2024; the water rates document was circulated for signatures.
Commissioners noted routine operations including hydrant flushing the week of Aug. 19 and that several delinquent water accounts were in the process of being shut off; the delinquent list was being updated by staff.
At 6:48 p.m. the board convened as the Board of Sewer Commissioners and discussed the town’s lagoons. Commissioners said a March bond vote to fund lagoon work is likely and outlined outreach options to keep the issue in front of residents: create a Public Works social‑media page that does not allow commenting, produce a quarterly newsletter summarizing projects, continue posting on existing social platforms and invite the contracted firm to provide public updates at meetings.
Following the sewer discussion the board adjourned the sewer meeting at 6:50 p.m. and resumed the Selectboard meeting. No formal water or sewer bonding action was taken during the Aug. 26 session; further outreach and possible bond planning were indicated as next steps.
