Wellfleet Board of Water Commissioners
Minutes of Meeting of December 7, 2006
Senior Center Conference Room
Present: Mark Berry, Chairman; Lynn Hiller, Moe Barocas,
Absent: Erik Mitchell, Emily Beebe
Chairman Mark Berry called the meeting to order at 7:05 p.m.
Mark Berry moved to approve the Annual Report as amended. Barocas seconded and the motion carried 3-0.
The BWC needs input from the DPW Director for Wellfleet Water System Rules & Regulations revisions. The Board will work on ideas for a future meeting. Pricing is a big issue to consider, Berry said. However, that can’t be determined until the total costs are established. Berry said in the meantime the BWC could work on its priority list. This will be on the agenda for the next meetings.
Barocas moved to approve the amended minutes of November 16, 2006. Berry seconded, and the motion carried 3-0.
Lynn Hiller had a question on hydrology in the Central District. Hiller asked about revisiting a study on the effects of bringing water into the center of town, diminishing the use of wells, but still releasing the same amount of wastewater into the area. Berry said that an impact study should be done. Barocas suggested putting this and other questions into a list for Environmental Partners to consider. The Natural Resources Advisory Board would have information on the water flow as well, Berry said.
Hiller, after examining the Small Cities Housing Rehab Grant application form, suggested recommending water saving plumbing installations for the loans. Barocas had a related idea on double plumbing for new construction. Berry reviewed what is entailed in double plumbing systems. Barocas asked about double plumbing at the beach sticker house.
The next meeting will be held Tuesday, January 2, 2007.
Berry moved to adjourn. Hiller seconded, and the motion carried 3-1. The meeting adjourned at 8:30 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
