CLERK: Diane Nilsson
AUDIENCE PRESENT: None
Jim Tuttle called the meeting to order at 7:40 p.m.
1. Minutes - November 24, 2001
MOTION: Mr. McGettigan moved to accept the 11/28/01 minutes as
written. Mr. Herlihy seconded and all were in favor.
2. Letter from Ken Sullivan disputing the $3,400 +/- bill for water
connection. According to Mr. Tuttle, at the November 13 Zoning Board of
Adjustment meeting, Mr. Sullivan and Mr.Tuttle discussed Mr. Sullivan’s
desire to have water service brought to his property on Route 31 and Route
101. Mr. Tuttle told him that the cost would be in the ballpark of $2,000
to $3,000 for time and materials in addition to the $1,000 connection fee.
Unfortunately there is nothing in writing to document the quote. The board
will review the bill at its February meeting and the clerk was asked to
write a letter to Mr. Sullivan. This led to a discussion of how the board
charges for water service time and materials. Charlie said that he will
research the rules and regs used by the Water Dept’s of Jaffrey, Peterborough,
Milford, Merrrimack etc. He will bring these to the next meeting.
3. Status of Sam Proctor lawsuit: The board will not shut off Mr. Proctor’s
water until the court adjudicates it. The court date has not been
set as yet.
4. Reply to David & Jane Glines’ request for a free hookup to water
system. Mr. Tuttle will contact David Glines and get a copy of his plans.
If it looks like there is a conflict with the State Route 31 boundary and
the Glines boundary, the board will contact the State.
5. Current overdue accounts and their status: Levesque has paid
in full. Silva and Wiley have greatly cut their usage. No details on payments
on these accounts. Office still needs to complete paperwork for LaPonsie
and Hall liens.
6. Status of new Chlorine Delivery System: All the electrical
work is done. Mr. McGettigan waiting for a plumber to do some pipe installation
and the job will be complete.
7. Second River Crossing update: Mr. Herlihy did not contact
Mr. Robinson, so there is no news. He will contact Mr. Robinson and/or
Mr. Thayer before the next meeting. Mr. McGettigan will contact John Wells,
of Bob’s Directional Boring, and let him know that the board is still interested
in the project.
8. Burns Hill Road water extension & loop closing on Holt
Road. Tabled until February.
9. Pump station on Burns Hill Road. Tabled until February.
10. Status of CEI grant submittal: Wilton was not awarded for a grant.
There were more applicants than there was money.
A motion was made and all agreed to adjourn the meeting. The meeting
adjourned at 9:15 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
Diane Nilsson, Clerk
