The minutes record a discussion about line inspection methods: the commission discussed using a camera to inspect the siphon and considered hiring National Water Main Cleaning for possible jetting. Chief Golding said he was weighing the necessity against cost and risk; he and Chair Boudreau noted National Water Main's nearest dispatch is in Canton, Massachusetts, which complicates logistics and response time.
