Resident seeks permission to bore under McNamara Road for private water service; board authorizes road commissioner oversight
Summary
A resident requested permission to explore crossing McNamara Road with a bored water line to serve animals and outbuildings; the board authorized the road commissioner to oversee the work and advised the resident to use DigSafe markings.
A property owner asked the Select Board for permission to investigate installing a water line under McNamara Road using a bored crossing rather than trenching the road. The resident said the intent is to extend water to outbuildings and animals across the road and reported a hydrant nearby.
Board members discussed typical depth (about four feet was suggested), DigSafe marking, and the town’s prior practice to leave oversight of such crossings to the road commissioner. The board authorized the road commissioner to oversee the bore if the owner proceeds and reminded the petitioner to coordinate with utilities and comply with DigSafe.
