Sanitary survey finds minor issues; town schedules fixes and adopts contingency plan
Summary
Utility operator presented the 2026 water sanitary survey documenting minor deficiencies (old equipment in Well House 5, missing mesh on an air‑release valve, rusted inlet pipe) that staff have addressed or scheduled for repair; the board adopted the contingency plan and will revisit bid items in spring.
The town's certified operator (S6) reported results of the 2026 water sanitary survey, describing a set of mostly minor deficiencies at well sites and the water plant. "Some of the deficiencies they found, which were minor, was Wells, House 5 had some old equipment ..." the operator said, and explained the team ordered 24‑mesh for an air‑release valve, painted a rusted inlet pipe and arranged repairs for tower legs where temporary cinder‑block shoring had been used.
Chair (S4) said the inspector's framing of certain items would strengthen the town's grant application for a larger project. The board adopted a contingency plan and asked staff to proceed with scheduling the previously planned bid items in spring, and to return with firm cost estimates for any capital work.
