Water Commission Meeting Minutes

The meeting began at 7:30 p.m.

The Board reviewed and approved the minutes from the October 27, 2010 meeting.

A MOTION was made by Mr. Duquette and SECONDED by Mr. McGettigan to accept the minutes as presented.

Voting: motion carried unanimously

The Board reviewed and approved bills for payment.

The Board discussed a letter from Karen Legault’s insurance company. Mr. Duquette noted that the insurance company wants them to pay $850 for the sink. He noted that the reason he suggested sending the insurance company a letter is to show them that we made Ms. Legault an offer. Mr. Duquette noted that the reason he included a copy of the August 25, 2010 minutes is because it states that we aren’t liable for the sink in those minutes. The Clerk will mail the letter to National Subrogation Services.

A MOTION was made by Mr. Duquette and SECONDED by Mr. McGettigan to close the Legault issue now that we are sending communications to the insurance company.

Voting: motion carried unanimously

The Board discussed the Roedel project. Mr. Duquette noted that everything is paid. Mr. Tuttle suggested that they have Mr. Somero get in touch with Paul to have the

backflow device tested.

Mr. Duquette presented the cross connection final draft to the Board for approval before submitting it to the state. The Board agreed that the words, “even if it’s not

cross connected to the Wilton water system”, should be eliminated. Mr. Duquette noted that he will make that change before submitting it to DES.

The Board discussed propane for the pump stations. Mr. Tuttle noted that Ciardelli Fuel Oil Company gave him the best price of $1.99 per gallon. He added that Ciardelli would put in another tank.

A MOTION was made by Mr. Tuttle and SECONDED by Mr. Duquette to ask Ciardelli to send a contract to lock in the price.

Voting: motion carried unanimously

The Board discussed the water bill reminder notices. Mr. McGettigan noted that they haven’t all been done yet.

Mr. Tuttle noted that he will contact Scott Clang and set up a time for them to meet with him.

Mr. Tuttle noted that Harold Wheeler wants to meet with them. Mr. Duquette noted that this is a matter for both the Water and Sewer Commission because the more we try to expand water, the more sewer it creates. He suggested sending Mr. Wheeler a a letter stating that we are not interested in his proposal because it would adversely affect our relationship with Milford and hinder our water expansion.

The Board reviewed a proposal from Leighton White. Mr. Tuttle noted that he will put together a letter to have signed at the next meeting.

A MOTION was made by Mr. Duquette and SECONDED by Mr. Tuttle to adjourn the meeting.

Voting: motion carried unanimously.

The meeting ended at 9:30 p.m.

Respectfully submitted,

Mary LaChance
