Putney Public Library asks Selectboard for drainage work; project on hold until spring
Summary
Library Director Emily Zervas asked the Selectboard for funding to redo drainage after basement water intrusion; non-functioning AC units are being replaced by heat pumps and quotes have expired, so the project is on hold until spring and the town manager recommended using the Capital Improvement Fund.
Emily Zervas, Putney Public Library Director, told the Selectboard that the library basement takes on water, currently requires a manually emptied dehumidifier, and that a contractor recommended installing a dehumidifier with an exterior drain and redoing drainage to mitigate moisture.
Zervas said previous contractor quotes are no longer valid and the timetable is too tight for work this season, so the project is on hold until spring. Karen Astley, the town manager, recommended that funds for the library's moisture mitigation come from the Capital Improvement Fund.
