Residents, selectmen agree to seek estimate to replace undersized Bridal culvert
Summary
Board and residents discussed a drainage problem on Bridal; Curtis will provide a plan and price to replace an undersized culvert. The Board said capital-reserve funds could be used for maintenance with proper public hearing protocol.
A resident raised recurring drainage problems on Bridal road and the Board discussed options to fix the undersized culvert. The resident and selectmen debated using two smaller pipes versus a single larger culvert; the board’s engineering preference was for one larger pipe to avoid clogging and improve flow.
Selectmen instructed Curtis to prepare a plan and an estimate for replacement. The Board noted repair work could be classified as maintenance and funded from capital-reserve accounts (highway or bridge/culvert reserves), subject to proper public-notice protocol and any required hearings.
The Board agreed to seek Curtis’s price and expected the estimate by the next meeting; further decisions will follow review of that estimate.
