Operators report dirty hydrant flushing, failing meter at 52 Main and falling Well #6 capacity
Summary
Systems Operator Josh Scotton reported dirty water during hydrant flushing that was then cleared, inspected new meters at two addresses (109 Exeter Road and 52 Main Street—52 Main needs replacement), and said Well #6 is losing capacity with atypical declining water levels.
Systems Operator Josh Scotton reported that hydrant flushing produced very dirty water but that the crew was able to flush hydrants clean. He inspected two recently installed meters—at 109 Exeter Road (with photos) and 52 Main Street—and said the unit at 52 Main must be replaced. Josh said he would coordinate replacement with Scott.
Josh also reported a concerning trend at Well #6: the well is losing capacity and water levels are falling, which he called "not typical." The board agreed to track well performance and noted limited transducer data because several transducers were broken; GZA consultant Jamie will return July 13 to analyze groundwater recharge with the available data.
