Putney Selectboard · August 5, 2026

Summary

Town Manager Karen Astley reported completion of the Alice Holway Drive pump station upgrade, five proposals for cellular water-meter upgrades, plans to seek a second water source with RCAP, and efforts to add cellular service to pump-station alarms.

At the Aug. 5 meeting the Town Manager, Karen Astley, provided a multi-part operations update covering water systems, communications and equipment.

Astley said the Alice Holway Drive pump station upgrade is complete and that the office has received five proposals for cellular upgrades to water meters. She added that the Town has requested Pump Control Solutions to provide a quote "to upgrade pump stations alarms to cellular service using the Mission systems already in use." A Rural Community Assistance Partnership meeting is scheduled Aug. 11 to consider options for a second water source.

The report also noted that the Town auditor will be on site Aug. 11–13 and that the Highway Department repaired the washed-out road to the water tank above Landmark College. Those operational steps were presented as part of ongoing water-system resiliency and fiscal oversight work.
