Proctor water, sewer boards update source-protection plan and await state bond funding
Summary
During separate Board of Water and Board of Sewer sessions on Feb. 23 the town reported updates to the Source Protection Plan being completed to support a Monitoring Waiver, and the sewer board said it is still waiting for state approval of bond funding for WWTF work; sludge removal application is under separate review.
During the Feb. 23 meeting the Selectboard temporarily adjourned to act as the Board of Water Commissioners and later the Board of Sewer Commissioners to consider water- and sewer-related business.
At 6:07 p.m. Jay Thorton moved to adjourn the Selectboard and convene the Board of Water Commissioners; the motion was seconded by Linda Doty and carried unanimously. The Water Board discussed updates to the Source Protection Plan (SPP) being revised to support a Renewal Application for a Monitoring Waiver. The SPP was described as needing completion prior to the waiver; the transcript records a deadline as '4/126' (interpreted as April 1, 2026, per clarifying detail below).
At 6:11 p.m. Bruce Baccei moved to adjourn the Water Board and convene the Board of Sewer Commissioners; Jay Thorton seconded and the motion was approved unanimously. The Sewer Board reported it is still waiting for the state to issue funding for a bond that would allow the town to be reimbursed; the minutes state that the sludge removal application is separate from the construction contract and is currently in review. At 6:32 p.m. Linda Doty moved to adjourn the Sewer Board and reconvene the Selectboard; Jay Thorton seconded and the motion passed unanimously.
No votes on bonds or contracts were recorded at this meeting; the minutes note the town continues to await state action and that applications and contracts remain under review.
