Mr. Capel stated that there was a sanitary sewer overflow on Radcliffe Drive because there was only one pump operating at the time. He thought there was a leak in the pond by LaMotte.

Mr. Capel stated that at the lagoon there was a blower they had to repair and another that was sent away for repair. There was a pump at Radcliffe Station that had to have new bearings and propellers.

Mr. Capel stated that the Corrosion Control was scheduled to begin work on the standpipe by the end of the week.

Mr. Capel stated that he traveled to Maine to a map company and purchased GIS equipment for $500.00 that would allow him to locate the water and sewer lines within 10’ so they could be mapped out.

There being no further business, Mr. Clark made a motion to pay the bills. Mr. Bristoll seconded the motion and it carried unanimously.

Mr. Clark moved to adjourn the meeting at 7:43 p.m., was seconded by Mrs. Mumford-Pautz and carried unanimously.
