Water System Expansion
Paul Millett of Environmental Partners Group (EPG) explained the Department of Environmental Review (DEP) rating system and EPG’s efforts to adjust the ratings to a more accurate level. He had responded to the DEP in a letter dated January 7, 2009 requesting further review. Millett explained the grants that are being sought for the water system. Mr. Millett gave the Water Commissioners the full set of plans, specifications, contract and schedule for the expansion project. The only permit left to get is from Conservation Commission for abutting wetlands on Kendrick and Holbrook Avenues.
Newsletter/Fact Sheet
Paul Millett provided the Board with several samples of newsletters which EPG had produced. Steve Gazzano reviewed article suggestions which the Board had previously listed. The Board discussed approaches to the fact sheets, offering further suggestions, including a Question & Answer format. Paul Millett suggested inclusion of graphics for the water main route and said EPG was willing to help out with the publication. The Board planned content for two fact sheets, one to be mailed in advance and one as a handout at Town Meeting.

Jean Schaefer distributed two charts which she had prepared. A Gantt chart showed the time line, and the second chart mapped the sequence of activities in preparation for Town Meeting presentation of the water expansion proposal.
