Select Board approves prioritization for phase‑1 wastewater connections

Sep 10, 2025

The board adopted a wastewater committee recommendation to prioritize infill connections, then Middletown Road, Main Street and Old School Street for phase‑1 bidding, to maximize connections within the town's budget; the board also noted the state offered $500,000 that could increase treatment capacity.

The full story

Presenter (speaker 1) presented the wastewater committee's memo and maps and said the committee's recommended order of prioritization for non‑priority properties is: 1) infill (most cost‑effective), 2) Middletown Road extension (serving Town Hall), 3) Main Street extension (to ~347 Main Street), and 4) Old School Street extension (lower priority because the road was recently paved). The presenter explained that priority properties (failing/septic/floodplain/small parcels) had been handled previously and that this prioritization is intended to maximize the number of connections the town can fund once bids are returned.
