Town manager reports on roads, seawall, water main incidents and emergency-planning changes
Summary
The town manager updated the board on road repaving, seawall work at Point Allerton, a resolved water-main incident on Kingsley, and changes to generator billing and warming/cooling center planning after the municipal light plant vote.
The town manager (speaker 5) briefed the board on ongoing public-works and utility issues: resurfacing work on Manomet and Samuelson Avenues (top coat and upcoming striping), continued seawall work at the Point Allerton intersection, and a water-main break on Kingsley that was resolved overnight. She said Weir River Water and town crews traced brown-water complaints to a booster station and had addressed the problem.
On emergency preparedness, the manager reminded the public that the municipal light plant voted to discontinue winter generator charges; residents will see the last generator charge on the September bill. She said warming centers and cooling options remain available via emergency management and that staffing and facility suitability affect which locations can open during specific events. Board members urged clearer advance communication to residents about warming/cooling center plans and staffing.
