The Supervisor called the meeting to order having the clerk take the Roll Call. The Supervisor presented her monthly report. The residents of Water District #14 met with the Board for one hour asking them for a progress report in their District. The following questions and answers were addressed to the Board and David Herrick. David Herrick, Town Engineer presented a progress report to the residents that were present. He stated that the contractor had completed all the mains within the District and completed all the services with the exception of Mrs. Duelands property at the corner of Stormy View. The contractor has pressure tested the mains and has to complete the disinfection process before residents can hook —up. Concerns for a need of a water meter pit were addressed. Dave stated that many of the homes are located in excess of 100' from the street. Bolton Point had,as a policy, a requirement that if you exceeded 100' from the street right —of— way,that you may require a meter box to be at the street line, where a meter would be located and you would therefore be responsible for all the pipes and any leaks in that pipe from the street line into your house. Because of all the concerns that were expressed Bolton Point has recinded_.that criteria, they no longer will use the 100' rule to require a meter box. If someone has extremely low crawl spacesin their home the homeowner may then be required to install a meter pit. David recommended that if you have further questions regarding your condition you should contact Bolton Point. Dave informed the residents that if you would like to connect to your well because your well is closer to the street line that this was allowed. You can put in a meter box and a meter pit and save yourself the added expense from running from the well to the house. Dave also stated that the residents should pressure test the existing line that you have to your well head to see that is does not leak. Otherwise you end up paying for any leaks that are in your line through your metered water. Mr. Thaler informed the residents to remember that anything between your meter and your house is the homeowners responsibility to maintain. Question — We want to bring the line from the street to the house and we want to keep the well hooked up to an outside faucet, will this cause a problem? Answer — Dave informed the resident that as long as there were no connection this was fine. Question — What size linewas used? Answer — Dave replied that homes that have more than one unit in their house a 1" pipe was put in. Most of the homes have one inch services in many cases in the Bean Hill, Whispering Pines, Forest Acres, so they would not have as great a friction loss in the pipe. The exceptions are in the - Stormy View Drive area. Question — The option is to the homeowner as to whether to install a 1" line or a 3/4" line? Answer — That is correct. If you have a one inch line you may want to consider a 12' inch line. If you want to run a larger pipe that's fine, if you want to put plastic pipe in but that will also require a meter pit. Question — At the highest elevation what do you anticipate the pressure to be? Answer — There is currently an extention that will be constructed within Whispering Pines, the pressure was tested at Whispering Pines and Hillcrest the pressure was' 32 PSI. The homes that are beyond Whispering Pines will have slightly lower pressures than that. Question — Will 32 PSI bring it up to the second floor. Answer — Yes
