Selectboard discusses equipment needs; highway supervisor proposes $2,000 pump purchase
Summary
Highway Supervisor proposed buying a 3-inch dewatering pump and accessories estimated at $2,000 to replace undersized inherited pumps; the board deferred purchase to FY28 budgeting.
Highway Supervisor Allen Wight raised the town's need for a working water pump for dewatering tasks, saying the Town's two existing pumps are nonfunctional and undersized from prior Fire Department transfers. Wight said he received an estimate of roughly $2,000 for a 3-inch pump with suction and discharge lines and suggested the board consider the purchase during FY28 budgeting.
The Selectboard did not approve immediate purchase at the meeting but agreed to keep the item in mind as they plan the FY28 budget. The pump estimate will be incorporated into future budget discussions.
