Water authority approves $32,000 FY26 amendment for IT and engineering
Summary
The board amended its adopted FY26 budget to add $12,000 for IT (SCADA) and $20,000 for engineering (Dove Haven water-line design) to cover project and equipment costs tied to system upgrades and remediation.
The Middlesex Water Authority voted to amend its adopted FY26 budget to increase IT spending by $12,000 and engineering spending by $20,000 to cover a SCADA upgrade and design work for a water-line replacement. Executive Director Chip England told the board the FY26 projection showed a roughly $75,000 shortfall and that the engineering increase is tied to design for the Dove Haven water-line replacement, a project affected by environmental conditions with remediation work by DEQ and an insurance claim still pending.
Carlton Revere moved to amend the FY26 budget for the $12,000 IT increase and $20,000 engineering increase; Janet Riggs seconded the motion and the board carried it unanimously. Mr. England noted the board will monitor reserves and may consider rate analysis work to support long-term stability.
