Town secures John Deere loader; board discusses garage testing before using glycol
Summary
Highway Superintendent Mark Hulbert reported the town secured a John Deere loader from Five Star Equipment insured at $250,000; the board discussed testing the highway garage floor with water and air for leaks before introducing new glycol.
Highway Superintendent Mark Hulbert told the board he had secured a John Deere loader from Five Star Equipment and completed related paperwork. Supervisor Bussey said the loader has been insured at full replacement cost for $250,000 and that the machine has a detachable bucket.
Hulbert also reported existing glycol on site was bad and that new glycol would be delivered; board members discussed filling the highway garage floor with water and air to test the system before introducing glycol so as to avoid waste if leaks exist. The board noted potential liability if plumbing or the boiler fail and discussed alternatives and testing sequences before accepting glycol into the system.
Community praise for highway work was voiced: "thank[ed] Superintendent Hulbert for doing a great job on the roads this winter," said community member Chip Roark.
