Board signs sewer commitment as staff clarifies customer count and EDUs
Summary
Select Board signed sewer commitment No. 293 and staff clarified the system serves 221 customers and just over 400 EDUs; members asked about back-payment processes and state statute limits.
The Select Board voted 4-0 to sign sewer commitment No. 293 on July 28 after an items review and questions about customer counts and billing. A board member asked for the current number of customers; the town manager replied that the report lists 221 customers and staff clarified that EDUs (equivalent dwelling units) total just over 400.
Finance staff explained the distinction between customer count and EDUs, and described carryover and billing procedures. When a member asked how long the town waits on back payments before escalating, the manager said liens and specified state statutes govern the timeline, though the manager did not provide an exact statutory citation during the meeting.
A board member made the motion to sign the sewer commitment and another member seconded; the motion passed unanimously. The board did not amend the commitment language during the session. Staff indicated they will follow up with internal clarifications for members who requested more detail on collections policy.
