Board discusses grease-trap costs for commercial kitchens, wastewater committee suggests funding search
Summary
The village wastewater committee recommended the Select Board and town administrator identify funding (including the economic development reserve fund) to help commercial properties install required grease separators; board members asked for counts and cost estimates before committing funds.
The Select Board reviewed a recommendation from the village wastewater committee urging the town to identify potential funding for grease separators required for commercial kitchens in the North and South villages. The transcript cites a commercial example in which a 1,000‑gallon grease trap was described as required by state rules and as potentially adding "about a $10,000" cost to a project (S3).
Board members agreed more data was needed — how many businesses would be affected and precise cost estimates — before deciding whether to use the economic development reserve fund or another funding source. Staff said the wastewater committee would need to reach out to affected businesses and compile cost numbers before the board could take further action.
