On – going matters:
Waste Water Project – Selectman Brooks went to a meeting this week with Underwood Engineers and SCI –
· Fencing - The meeting expressed the town needing to take into consideration possible fencing around the system. This would keep the field free of vehicular traffic. No decision was be made at this time, waiting for a price – consideration of alternative options was discussed.
· Replacement pipes – Several pipes coming into the former East Coast Steel lot that are in poor condition.
· Filters – The system will need a 36” filter as they no longer make the 54” filters the system originally called for. This will need to be inspected every year.
· Budget- Several items are more expensive than anticipated, SCI will be presenting a cost sheet for this and Selectmen can consider necessary changes. Anticipated completion within a month
· Loam – Upon completion loam will be spread before a fence is installed
· Operator - Discussed options for the operator – Administrative Assistant will contact the two who were interviewed.
