Town’s Concerns

Manhole cover is offset and needs to be realigned prior to final paving. David Polcari of CDM presented a letter on excessive infiltration at North and Central Street. The sewer service bill was paid. There is a sag in the sewer pipe in North Street that needs to be addressed. CBB is working on some mitigation with Sewer Department. Sewer odor problem has been improved but not entirely eliminated.
