Director of Public Works Bruce reported at the July 9 workshop that Middletown remains at drought Code Yellow and recommended no change in status despite recent rain. He said the town has started its three-year lead-and-copper testing cycle and mailed letters to identified households; a small number of residents have already requested sample bottles. The annual Lead and Copper Rule Revisions (LCRR) service-line inventory is underway and staff sent letters to 21 properties with unknown internal connections requesting permission for inspection.
Bruce also reported infrastructure and operations updates: the Linden Boulevard project is complete except for streetlight installation, the FY26 patching contract is complete, a 12-inch waterline replacement at the school complex is on schedule, and the high-school water meter has been replaced. He said staff recommend placing part of a projected $200,000 residual in the FY27 Water/Sewer CIP.
