OLD BUSINESS
1. Pennichuck – The list of businesses that
need backflow prevention devices has been reduced to: Casa
Capella, L.A. Limousine, Convenience 101, The
Recycling Center & Dr. Rick’s office.
Still in question is Wilton House of Pizza. In addition, Bob Draper’s
old house needs a check valve.
McGettigan will make appointments for Pennichuck
to test the remaining testable devices.
Herlihy will call Steve and ask if someone from
the highway dept. will remove the water meter from burned house at 4 Barry
Court.
McGettigan reported that the water tank
overflowed Saturday morning. A resident called him to report it so he turned
off the pumps and drove to the tank. He said what happened was a transformer
blew out on Abbot Hill Road, and when the power went out, the reader at the
tank went down to 3’. So the tank was calling for
water when it didn’t need it. McGettigan said that someone from Pennichuck was there and that he had received an alarm but
McGettigan didn’t ask him what kind of alarm he
received. Herlihy will call Pennichuck and try to find out what kind of alarm
they received on Saturday and also what are all the
alarms they could receive from the system.

asbestos removal company Deke-Tam looked at the
asbestos earlier in the day and will have a report by next week.
