DPW

Raw sewage pump repair:  The Board determined that the $4,000.00 needed to repair the backup pump was too expensive.

2-way radios:  $1,600.00 was allotted in the 2013-2014 budget for the addition of 2 updated 2 –way radios.

Water system service survey:  The survey found 4 service leaks.  Two are the home owners’ responsibility, the other two are as yet undetermined who is responsible.  DPW will investigate as soon as weather permits. The property line to the house is the property owner’s responsibility.  Four hydrants were found to be leaking slightly.  We will put monies aside in the 2014-2015 budget to replace two.
