7:05 p.m.  James Wettlaufer, Selectman reported that Tom LaPlante of the Highway Dept. has measured the depth of the water at the dam and found it to be 14” below normal.  The drawdown, which is 2” per day, was to begin on October 9, 2007 but because of the lack of rain the lake is already down.  So the drawdown will be delayed but will eventually be lowered to its customary 24”.

7:10 p.m.  Members signed the Order of Conditions for Roger Perry of 59 Island Rd., DEP File #184-0220 to repair a septic system with a holding tank.  Kristin LaPlante notarized the signatures.
