Proctor water and sewer commissions meet; 700,000‑gallon discharge at Park Station reported
Summary
The Selectboard convened the Board of Water Commissioners at 6:54 p.m. and later the Board of Sewer Commissioners; officials discussed delinquent accounts, reported a rain‑related discharge of about 700,000 gallons of processed water at Park Station that was reported to the state, and announced sludge bids due Thursday.
At 6:54 p.m. on May 12 the Selectboard adjourned into the Board of Water Commissioners; the board reviewed a handout on delinquent water accounts and discussed collection practices. The water session ended with no additional business noted.
At 7:08 p.m. the minutes record a motion to adjourn the water board and convene the sewer board (the transcript repeats "Board of Water Commissioners" in the motion; the record and subsequent items indicate sewer business followed). Sewer staff reported a discharge at Park Station after heavy rains; the operator reported the incident to the state. The minutes note the town "has already discharge 700,000 gallons of processed water" and that state rules prevented additional discharge for a few days. Sludge‑removal bids were announced and will be received on Thursday.
Board members discussed delinquent accounts for sewer customers as well; staff will continue collection efforts. The board did not take final action on rates or enforcement at the May 12 session.
