Engineers to propose dam fix after GZA letter; temporary measures discussed
Summary
Board members said they received a letter from GZA and a list of dam contractors; staff said GZA would provide findings and a plan and the town may use a temporary fill to maintain water levels before winter.
Selectmen heard an update that GZA, an engineering firm, has sent a letter to the town and will begin developing a plan to fix the dam. Staff said GZA provided a summary of what they observed and recommended steps, and that they supplied a list of contractors experienced in dam work in New Hampshire for the town to engage.
The meeting discussed short-term options to keep water levels in the pond through the winter. "They've got a fix figured out," a staff member reported, and the board discussed a temporary fill option—possibly raising the water several feet—to maintain the water line until a permanent repair can be completed.
Selectmen asked for a schedule and emphasized the need to have water restored before winter; staff agreed to coordinate with listed contractors and to move forward once GZA's plan is finalized.
