Sewer representative states that the as-built drawing of force main on Lincoln Street is lacking in detail. Fiore and CBB are discussing. Jim Dow presented a letter to Kevin McRea re: sewer concerns. Sewer representative asks for a notice before pump station begins operation.
Paving on North Street needs to be temporary. A letter has been sent to Cashman proposing an approach to temporary paving. (Waiting on DPW Bids)
