Water system report: new vent, SCADA monitoring, 2.2% loss and upcoming tank dive
Summary
Water operator Todd reported the system is operating well; the board discussed a new vent for the above-ground tank, SCADA monitoring, a 2.2% water loss this month, and approved a 2026 dive and cleaning of the underground tank after reviewing a cost estimate given in the meeting.
Todd reported the town's water system is functioning and crews have installed a new vent on the above-ground tank and will finish below-ground repairs later this month. The chair said these fixes address the main deficiencies and that SCADA monitoring and flow-meter upgrades remain to be completed.
The board recorded a monthly water loss of 2.2% and noted that yard hydrants need to be purchased for the park. The chair presented a cost estimate for diving and inspecting the underground tank and the board voted to approve the dive for 2026. (The transcript includes two conflicting phrasings of the estimate: "The cost estimate will be $38.67" and later "the cost estimate is going to be 53 $9,900" — the figure is unclear in the record and requires confirmation.)
