Historical Society to request curb stop; commissioners agree to act if letter arrives
Summary
Commissioners agreed they would restore a previously abandoned sewer/water stub and install a curb stop for the Historical Society if the society submits a written request; the commission flagged fees, impact/allocation charges, and a requirement that the Historical Society accept financial responsibility if the broader land-trade does not complete.
Commissioners and the property owner discussed a previously abandoned service stub that once served a house on the corner lot now controlled by the Historical Society. Speaker 7 said the crew "found the sewer stub" and the commission discussed restoring it to allow future connections.
Several commissioners said the Historical Society should submit a brief written request; Speaker 3 said such a letter "would be an easy one" to act on. Commissioners also clarified that replacing an abandoned curb stop or reactivating service could trigger impact or allocation fees if the connection becomes active in the future, and that the town would expect reimbursement if the proposed land/utility trade does not proceed. The commission asked staff to treat the curb-stop request like other new-service requests and to provide an estimate for the cost to install the equipment now (discussed as likely in the low thousands).
