Three major water leaks force temporary closures at MECC and Family Dollar; UHS leak to wait until school break
Summary
Town staff reported three major water leaks, including incidents at MECC and Family Dollar that led to closures; Union High School has a 2‑inch line leak under concrete that school maintenance plans to repair after classes end.
During the manager's report, Stephen Lawson told the council the town had experienced three significant water leaks. Two of the leaks—one at MECC and one at the Family Dollar—were severe enough that the affected business and the college closed temporarily. Lawson also reported a leak at Union High School on a 2‑inch line located under concrete; school maintenance decided to delay repair until after the school year to avoid disruption.
No timelines for full restoration or funding sources for repairs were recorded in the workshop notes. Council was informed of the closures and the planned sequencing for repairs at the school.
