Review of 2 lot subdivision for Raneo on Queen Anne Road (near
bike path). Water service will be allowed for second lot. If rear
lot is further subdivided an 8i water main and hydrants will be
required.
Discussion re: rules and regulations and requirements that will
be necessary for any subdivisions over 2 lots. A meeting needs
to be held for further discussion.
OLD BUSINESS: Route 28 water main installation project will have
a 4-1/2 ft. hydrant instead of a 5-1/2 ft. one at Old County Road
and Route 28. The work performed is satisfactory.
Irrigation system moratorium - this will need an article to go
before town meeting. The Town Departments will need to be brought
into compliance as well as the private citizens.
NEW BUSINESS: Channel 18 program "Community Journal" had Acting
Superintendent Deborah Fuller on as a guest to discuss the water
conservation program and the different jobs done here are the Water
Department. The program was very well done.
South Shore Generator update: they want us to pay for the wall
required. Acting Superintendent Fuller said we will not pay as
they should know the rules and what was required for installation
of the generator. They need to honor their contract, as they are
responsible. They are estimating the cost at approximately $1,500.00.
Lightening damage - last week's storms did some minimal damage
to the stations in back but they are on line.
May pump records were reviewed.
CORRESPONDENCE: A letter was received from the Assistant Town
Administrator regarding moving the Minuteman encampment scheduled
for July to behind the high school due to a conflict of scheduling.
We will provide the "water buffalo" for them to use for water.
The consumer confidence report is done. One page was done upside
down but is okay when folded.
Next meeting will be held on July 3, 2001.
Meeting adjourned at 9:15 AM.
