council. “But I seriously doubt that we could meet the MCL at the customers’ tap.”
The proposed regulations would require one sample per year for lead in the system’s water. During the first year, 10 samples would be required from water drawn from customers’ taps — inside their homes. After that initial sampling, the requirement would relax to 10 samples every five years.
Other regulations which would require removal of lead in the source water at the treatment plant do not apply to Washington, Mr. Fisher said, because the source water has no lead in it.
“If the regulations go into effect on Jan. 1,1989,” Mr. Fisher told the council, “we will be in violation until the new water system and treatment facility are completed. The necessary treatment plant is part of the plans — it is just a matter of when we get funding.”
Mowing contract tabled
John Norman appeared before the council to ask the status of his bid on a new contract for grass cutting and snow removal. His last
three-year contract expired last month. The council declined to take action on the matter, saying that the requirements of the contract have not been finalized.
“I have submitted bids two times in good faith,” Mr. Norman replied. “I assumed that at this meeting we would decide whether I do this or not.”
The job, council member Nan Thomasson said, “is not well-defined. The committee needs to define our needs for grass cutting and snow removal.”
“John can’t give us a reasonable bid,” Peter Skowronski agreed, “until Evelyn Willis and Brad Fisher get a decision on what we need to have done.”
“His bid was very clear," Mrs. Thomasson added. “What was not clear was what council wants done in this job.”
After further discussion, the council agreed to Mr. Norman’s request to withdraw his bid, with the understanding that he would submit a new bid once the specifications of the job are decided on.
“His contract is over,” Town Attorney Frank Reynolds observed, “ant fhe grass won’t be growing. “Bu .he contract is for snow removal too. If it snows we might not see John out there.”
