Town manager: geothermal study finds two promising sites; water plant ceiling to be inspected
Summary
Town Manager Jonah said consultants identified two potential geothermal sites and that an engineer is scheduled to inspect a water‑treatment plant ceiling collapse next week; the town is pursuing annexation of County 139.
Town Manager Jonah told the council that a phase‑1 geothermal study kickoff took place and consultants identified two attractive locations — one for new development and another near the rec center and hospital that could support a thermal network. "Results of the study are still coming in," Jonah said, and staff will continue to work with state partners and legislators on geothermal opportunities.
Jonah also reported infrastructure items: the town is working to annex County Road 139 and has begun financial reviews across departments. He added that a piece of the water‑treatment plant ceiling fell overnight and an engineer will inspect to determine whether the problem is cosmetic or structural. The council asked for updates once the engineer reports.
