Mr. Parson said he has no objection to the new reservoir, Mr. Fisher said, as long as it cannot be seen from his house. He added that the Water Authority intends to see if the storage tanks can be, “camouflaged a bit better.”
Mr. Bailey also asked about provisions for temporary service to the town’s residents while the system is being overhauled. Mr. Fisher said that water will be supplied through temporary flexible pipes running above ground while the new pipe is being laid.
Each connection, he added, will be flushed, disinfected and sanitized, and the water tested at the home’s taps before the temporary lines are hooked up. The same process will be repeated before any residents use the new distribution lines, Mr. Fisher said. “That is a condition of the bonding necessary to accomplish the project.”
John Burns, who described himself as a “prospective town resident,” asked if the overhaul will increase the system’s capacity to enable it to serve more households.
Mr. Fisher said that the present system is running at capacity, and that the first task of the new system will be to honor several longstanding requests for taps.
“What holds us back from expansion is that we don’t have a second reliable source of supply,” the water authority chief said. Another component of the overhaul is the addition of another well, which is mandated by new federal drinking water standards.
