The board was told the lift station grant and loan application was submitted March 10, 2025, with a March 28 referendum deadline and decisions expected July 1. Trustees approved a purchase of degreaser for the lift station not to exceed $2,650 and heard that a pinhole leak on Patton likely requires boring a new line.
