Commission discusses grants timeline, $80,000 engineering estimate for proposed water-line work
Summary
Chair Boudreau said she contacted MassDEP and FRCOG about funding timelines; Commissioner Belden referenced an $80,000 engineering cost that 'includes Sewer for Pentecost' and Chief Golding warned against relying on a well as a public-water option.
Commissioners discussed water-line planning, grants and loan options at the June 29 meeting. Chair Karen Boudreau said she reached out to the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection and the Franklin Regional Council of Governments for guidance on grant and funding timelines; the minutes note a typical project lifecycle of 18–24 months from conception to construction for grant-funded work.
Commissioner Matt Belden reviewed water-line options and recorded an $80,000 engineering estimate described in the minutes as 'includes Sewer for Pentecost.' Chair Boudreau raised loan options, and Chief Isaac Golding cautioned about risks tied to public water supply and said he was not in favor of relying on a well. The minutes do not include operating-cost estimates for the proposed options.
