Town closes on FEMA buyout properties; School Street water main break repaired pending test results
Summary
The board heard that closing on 42–46 E Manchester Rd occurred last week and the properties are slated for demolition within 90 days; separately, a water main break on School Street was repaired and samples were sent for testing, with the boil-water advisory to be rescinded if results are clean.
Town Manager Scott Murphy reported several operational updates. He said the federal buyout closing for 42–46 E Manchester Rd completed last week; the town will demolish the acquired properties within the next 90 days and ownership will transfer to the Town once demolition is complete.
Murphy also reported that a water main break on School Street has been repaired; two water samples have been sent for testing and results are expected within about 24 hours. He told the board that "the Boil Water Notice will be rescinded if the tests come back clean." Murphy also warned that the DPW's salt and sand budgets are maxed out for the season and reminded property owners they are responsible for sidewalk maintenance under state rules (the specific statutory citation was not provided at the meeting).
No executive session was held; the board adjourned at 7:55 p.m.
