Warrant Article of the Day
As we ready for Town Meeting on May 12, 2026, the Town will be presenting information every day on different warrant articles.
The full warrant can be found here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1b6CoXO4kgZUp5jlwizDPsEgXYfYyNqAf/view?usp=sharing
Article 11 Capital Improvements – Water Treatment Plant
This article seeks to authorize debt from the Water Enterprise Fund for the purpose of replacing equipment within the water treatment plant. Specifically, the $2,600,000 funding will be used to replace one of the finished water pumps and the emergency generator along with associated control and wiring systems. The existing equipment is original to the plant’s opening in 1991 and are well beyond their useful life. Both replacements are critical to ensuring that we can provide drinking water and fire protection throughout the town.
