Town withholds final payment until pump stations are corrected; council seeks screening options
Summary
After a GMB inspection found needed corrections at newly installed pumping stations, Superintendent Shawn Lane said corrections will be sent to the contractor and Administrator Erin Braband said "final payment will not be issued until the Town is satisfied with all the stations." The council requested screening around stations but staff noted truck access limits planting options.
President Newnam asked about the condition of the pumping stations installed by the contractor. Superintendent Shawn Lane said a walk‑through inspection was performed by GMB and that GMB will send the contractor a list of corrections to make.
Administrator Erin Braband told the council that the Town will not issue final payment until it is satisfied with the stations: "final payment will not be issued until the Town is satisfied with all the stations." President Newnam asked that the stations be screened from the neighborhood; Lane said trucks need access to the stations, so trees or bushes adjacent to the stations are likely not permitted, but staff will explore other screening options.
