Town staff outline lead-service-line inventory deadline and large water-system report
Summary
Water/sewer staff told the board the lead service line inventory must be submitted to the state Department of Health by the 16th; MJ Engineering's water system improvement report (about 260 pages) is under review and the department expects actions and funding needs over the next years.
Town water and sewer staff updated the board on multiple infrastructure matters, including a state deadline and a large consultant report. The water operator said, "The lead service line inventory is required to be submitted to the Department of Health by the 16th," and that the town has several months of follow-up actions ahead, including customer notifications for unknown service lines.
Staff also said MJ Engineering has finished a water system improvement report of roughly 260 pages that will guide near-term and multi-year projects; the operator said, "It's 260 some pages, and I have not gotten through the 1st 10," and asked for time to review the recommendations carefully so the town can pursue funding opportunities. The department also reported completion of hydrant flushing in Upper Jay and noted one hydrant will be removed because the building it served is no longer a firehouse.
