Jay board to cover $25 water-test fee for residents with lead concerns
Summary
Water & Sewer reported hydrant work and lead-line outreach; after discussion the board approved a resolution to cover a $25 water test fee for residents who request testing due to lead concerns (Resolution #2024-254).
Paul Mintz, who presented the Water & Sewer report, told the board crews replaced an out-of-service hydrant, repaired a blow-off, and planned to mail lead-line-status letters the following day. The board discussed options for pit meters versus house meters and training/upcoming classes for staff.
After discussion, Councilman Knut Sauer moved to cover the $25 fee for any resident who requests water testing due to concerns about lead; Councilor Olivia Dwyer seconded and the motion passed unanimously as Resolution #2024-254. The motion directs the town to pay testing fees for concerned residents; no funding source change beyond the approved motion was specified in the meeting record.
