Water & Sewer Commissioner Dale Leiser reported $80,552.54 in outstanding accounts (after $9,945.71 collected, $70,606.83 remains) and raised concern over commercial rinsing that he estimated used about 300,000 gallons in six months.
Water & Sewer Commissioner Dale Leiser reported an outstanding balance on water accounts of $80,552.54; collections of $9,945.71 reduced the remaining balance to $70,606.83. He said a recently installed variable‑speed pump has not produced expected electricity savings and asked staff and National Grid for a review.
Leiser highlighted unusually high commercial water use at several businesses and cited an approximate total of 300,000 gallons used over six months for ice‑cream scoop rinsing at Del’s, Stewarts and Samascotts. He has left a message for the County Department of Health seeking guidance and asked the board to note the financial and operational concerns.
