Chair: emergency spending used for water treatment; sensor retrofit planned
Summary
The chair said the board ratified emergency spending for water treatment and intends to retrofit rather than fully replace some sensors; borrowing and repayment plans were discussed.
The Chair said the town used ratification to cover emergency funds spent on water treatment and described a plan to adapt existing sensors rather than replace them. “Because we used Ratification for emergency funds spent on the water treatment,” the Chair said.
The Chair outlined that the retrofit would focus on sensors that are still serviceable and quoted line items including filters and labor (the transcript lists a figure that is unclear in wording). He said the town may need to shut down at night if reservoir levels go over a 30% threshold and discussed short-term borrowing from the general fund to cover upfront work with a plan to repay within about six months, targeting Dec. 31 for formal repayment.
