Council withholds final payment until contractor corrects pumping‑station issues

Trappe Town Council · April 1, 2026

Summary

After a GMB walk‑through, the council recorded a list of corrections to be sent to the pumping‑station contractor and said final payment will not be issued until the Town is satisfied with the work.

President Newnam raised concerns about the condition of newly installed pumping stations and asked for clarification from Superintendent Shawn Lane on the contractor's work and outstanding items.

Superintendent Lane said "a walk thru inspection was done by GMB and a list of corrections will be sent to the contractor," and Administrator Braband stated final payment will not be issued until the Town is satisfied with all the stations. The council discussed options to screen the stations from the neighborhood but noted that plantings that block truck access would not be permitted.
