Town staff credits PEP projects for drainage gains and helps restore power to Watermill church
Summary
Officials highlighted PEP drainage and rain-garden projects and credited town staff for getting PSEG to reconnect power to a Watermill Lutheran church after a pole collision; the town also reported progress on the ADU program and a community center outreach.
Town officials reported on several community-resilience items, including work by the PEP (Partnership for Environmental Projects) management committee on drainage projects such as Havens Beach and Nineveh rain-garden work, which staff said helped mitigate local flooding concerns.
Council members also described rapid town intervention to help a Watermill Lutheran church that had been without electricity for weeks after a pole was struck. "PSEG got out there a couple of days ago and reconnected the electricity," a staff member reported, crediting town contacts who helped expedite the repair. The board praised PSEG and local staff for resolving the outage and noted the building department had approved repair work.
Separately, the accessory dwelling unit (ADU) program showed strong enrollment and the community center design process continues; staff said they will brief CAC West on hours and operations when details are available.
