Richard Siedman asked about a Clark Street developer who had hooked up the sewers to the storm drain.

Tom Deming asked about what information could be given to the gentleman who attended the public hearing and that more information was needed to show the residents why the upgrade was the best option and could there be a comparison of what other Towns pay available.
