Summary

Proctor’s sewer commissioners reported the first sludge load removed from the wastewater treatment facility; the state is holding grant funds pending documentation and 30-day posting, and the town may need a short-term loan to keep the contractor paid and work moving forward.

Sewer commissioners reported that the first load of sludge was removed from the wastewater treatment facility (WWTF) on the prior Friday. According to the minutes, the state is requesting documentation that had been provided with a grant application two years earlier and is holding funds pending the required 30-day posting for objections.

Because funds are being held, the minutes state the town may need to take a short-term loan to pay the contractor and maintain project momentum. No formal motion to borrow was recorded; commissioners noted the potential financing requirement and no additional sewer business was recorded that evening.
