Montgomery installs four hydrants, reviews $46,000 water-operator proposal; consumer confidence report noted
Summary
Selectboard heard that four new hydrants were installed and discussed replacing a deteriorating main line; the board reviewed an SOS operations proposal priced at $46,000 annually and accepted the Consumer Confidence Report certificate with no action required.
Town staff reported that four new hydrants have been installed and that a waterline repair was completed on the corner by the Center Cemetery. The minutes record concern from Selectboard members that the Main Line in that zone is deteriorating and should be replaced before sidewalk construction.
In an operations update, the board reviewed an SOS proposal to operate the water system priced at $46,000 per year ($3,800 per month). A second proposal from H2O Innovation was pending receipt of their written proposal; no selection was made at the meeting. The board also received the Consumer Confidence Report Certificate summarizing the prior year’s water-testing results; the board took no formal action on the certificate at this meeting.
The hydrant installations and operator-proposal review were presented as operational upgrades; the board directed staff to continue vetting operator proposals and incorporate main-line condition into capital planning.
