Summary

The consultant told the board the town does not currently inject chlorine and that any fluoride or chemical additions would be handled through the Village of Albion because such changes would affect licensing requirements.

Jason clarified that the town currently does not inject chlorine into its water system and that any fluoride or other chemical additions "would be through the village of Albion." He said adding those chemicals could change the town’s licensing requirements and therefore treatment responsibilities would involve Albany-area licensing and intermunicipal coordination.

A committee member reiterated that treatment and chemical handling arrangements hinge on intermunicipal agreements and regulatory licensure; no detailed memorandum of understanding or formal agreement was described in the provided segments. The board will need to confirm chemical treatment responsibilities and any license changes as design and operational planning progress.
