Town meeting came to an end May 18th after three sessions.The three bid warrant articles passed. One such article was for new, automated water meters for a total cost of $3 million. approximately 8,000 meters residential and commercial meters are in our town. Of these, 1000 are fairly new and only need a new tamper proof part added to the top of the meter. This will allow the meters to be read from the DPW office.
$9 million was approved to upgrade the sewer pumping system and force main that carries sewage. This 7,500 feet of sewer pipe is 50 years old. I'm happy this passes, as I feel it was a top priority for the town. Unlike a broken water pipe, you simply cannot turn of the sewer flow in the event of a rupture.
Last, $2 million dollars was budgeted for new bleachers, new bathrooms, and a new turf surface at BHS Varsity Field.
I just opened my pool and I'm looking forward to the summer.
