Town Treasurer Brad Fisher reported that the council has spent over $1,000 in reproduction costs in the past year. Frank Reynolds did some research on acquiring a copy machine for the town. He said, “We can rent a copy machine that can do fast copies and collating. We have a copy machine but it cannot do large jobs. We can rent one for $95 a month, which includes all maintenance.” The new copy machine could be located in Mr. Reynolds’ office, and Mr. Reynolds would pay for any of his personal use of it. The copy machine would be just like the one used presently in the County Clerk’s office.
Mr. Miller supported the idea. “I think it is a good deal for the town,” he said. A motion was approved to go ahead and get the copy machine.
Mr. Fisher reported that he had received the results of a test done on town water for the presence of copper and lead. The water tested was from homes with plumbing systems which contained copper pipes with lead soldering, installed between 1982 and 1986. The test, completed by the state health department, showed that the water was free of any harmful amounts of these metals. Passing this test means that the town will not be required to undergo an engineering study, which could have cost $50,000.
The next Washington Town Council meeting is scheduled for Feb. 9.
