Paving will take place next spring. The board asked Don for his feedback on the dumpster at the Town Garage, which is scheduled to be removed on December 1st. Don stated that there is an average of 7 man hours per week used for the maintenance of the dumpster. Most of that time is spent removing items that do not belong in the dumpster.
Randy reviewed the following Reports for the month of October: Phosphorus Monitoring Report, Operations Report, Sewer Discharge Report, and the Permit Monitoring Report. Randy stated he had not received the test results from Dubois & King for the most recent flow-gauging tests. Erin will follow up with Dubois & King regarding the status of the project.
