Minutes – January 31, 2007
MOTION: Herlihy/McGettigan
to approve 1/31/07 minutes as written. All in favor.
Pennichuck (PWW): Mr. McGettigan looked at the potassium hydroxide readings
at the pump house and found that from January 3rd through the 29th
the system was using 12.31 gallons per day. He will get the readings for
February and give them to either Chris Conti or Mr. Herlihy, who will then
contact Pennichuck. He will also contact Winwood Compliance regarding the price
of Coyne chlorine tabs and then Bernie regarding that price. Mr. McGettigan
will also contact Marco regarding an incident with Bursey Stanton that happened
three weeks ago. Mr. Herlihy will contact Bernie regarding emergency situations
and water-user problems that fall outside the maintenance contract. He will ask
Pennichuck to contact Steve at the highway dept. and one of the water
commissioners when there is a problem.
Reduced Salt Use: The Wilton police chief,
fire chief, the Lyndeborough/Wilton/Temple Ambulance, and the Superintendent of
Schools have signed letters supporting low salt usage on Route 31 South near
the Wilton municipal wells. The Wilton Selectmen are the only representatives who
have not signed the letters.
Upper Main Street Services: Dawn Tuomala gave the Commissioners a map of the downtown services.
There are some services that need to be changed before the sidewalk project is completed: possibly Monadnock Survey/Dr. Roy; Keefe Law
Office; Magic Mirror and Cheever and Sullivan Law office. Once the Lot 48
service is in place, it will need a backflow device.
System for Backflow Devices
for New Businesses: Mr. Herlihy will write a
letter to Bill Condra, Wilton Building Inspector, asking him for his help in
setting up a system whereby new businesses cannot receive occupancy permits
until they have had backflow devices installed and inspected.
September Meter
Readings/Bills: Mr. Herlihy will contact
Jane Farrell regarding unpaid/late bills as well as new service that should
have been billed for two units.
Missing Backflow Device: Mr. McGettigan reported that Pennichuck tried to find the
backflow device inside Roedel’s white building in
order to test it, but couldn’t find it. Mr. McGettigan will find it and contact
Pennichuck.
Backflow Readings Records: Mr. McGettigan will contact the appropriate person at Pennichuck and ask for copies of the last backflow
inspection reports as well as the inspection report that was done at
Hillsborough Mills.
Trailer for Spill
Mitigation on Route 31 S.: Mr. Herlihy has arranged
to purchase a 32’ x 8’ stor-a-van trailer with office
from William Scotsman, Inc. in Pelham. The price installed is about $10,330.
MOTION: Tuttle/McGettigan to purchase the
above-described trailer at a price not to exceed $10,500. All were in favor.
Interior Painting of Water
Tank: Mr. Herlihy will contact
Merithew regarding the Clerk of the Works job and what the
bid would be to do the job this summer. He will also contact Pennichuck about the chlorine pump operation during the
tank painting. Will the setup we have now work during constant pumping?
MOTION:
Herlihy/McGettigan to adjourn the meeting. All in favor.
The
meeting adjourned at 10 p.m.
