Commission votes unanimously to pursue Pawtucket Water connection, approves design work
Summary
The Lincoln Water Commission voted unanimously to negotiate an agreement with Pawtucket Water and to solicit engineering design proposals to pursue a regional connection; commissioners said a contract must be in place before investing in design.
The commission voted to pursue a connection with Pawtucket Water and to begin the necessary design and contract work, approving the motion by voice vote. A commissioner moved "We move forward with the Pawtucket connection, in whatever capacity we need to do at this point," and the motion was seconded and carried unanimously after commissioners discussed the need to fine‑tune contractual terms before committing to design expenditures.
Chair noted representatives from Pawtucket Water had expressed willingness to work with Lincoln but that the town must secure a contract before investing heavily in design. Commissioners instructed staff to obtain engineering proposals and to return with a proposed contractual framework; no final agreement with Pawtucket Water or design contract was signed at the meeting.
