Chair Justina Carlson called the meeting to order at 7:06 p.m.
USDA Grant
The Water Commissioners discussed options for the USDA grant with Paul Gabriel and Paul Millett of Environmental Partners Group (EPG). Mr. Gabriel explained the nature of the USDA grant and the amount of money available by grant and by loan. He and Mr. Millett reviewed the Water System Expansion Location Plan, November 2012* with the BWC.
Lori Vanderschmidt moved to recommend to the Selectmen acceptance of the USDA grant and loan for the portion of the expansion plan of November 2012 that includes the four small roads in town (Whit’s Lane, Baker Ave, Masonic Lane and Railroad Ave.) and creates a loop over Summit Rd. Dan Williams seconded, and the motion carried 5-0.
The Board discussed with the EPG representatives the possibility of betterments for future expansion of the system, but they stayed focused on presenting the expansion plan to the Board of Selectmen. Construction would take place next year if the expansion goes forward. New abutters would bring new connections to the system.
Coordinator Michaela Miteva will refine the PowerPoint presentation for the Board of Selectmen meeting. EPG offered their assistance in the BWC presentation. EPG suggested updating the Master Plan for the Municipal Water System.
