Selectman says town should consider taking control of local waterline; rate increases likely for property owners
Summary
After inspecting waterlines on Dewey Street Extension and Dunleavy Avenue, Selectman Alan Fletcher said the town might benefit from taking control of the line at no cost to the town, though property owners could face higher water rates; further research was assigned.
Selectman Alan Fletcher reported that he, Town Clerk Kiley Deuso, Jeremy and another associate inspected the waterline on Dewey Street Extension and Dunleavy Avenue. Fletcher said hydrants would need to be hooked up first and that work would have to meet state codes.
Fletcher told the Selectboard he believes it would be beneficial for the town to take control of the waterline at this time; according to the meeting record, that transfer would be at no cost to the town because the current owner would pay the conversion costs. Fletcher said that water rates for property owners would increase if the town assumes control. He was assigned to continue researching the proposal.
No formal vote or timetable was recorded; the matter remains under study.
