Supervisor Thorpe offered privilege of the floor to those

Supervisor Thorpe apprised the Board that the water line
into the trailer park on Route 13 failed. Our Highway Supt,
Carl Bush, was contacted, and made arrangements to get the
necessary equipment to repair. When the lines were uncovered,
they found the trailer park was being serviced with a one inch
line, which explains why they were having difficulties with
water pressure in the past. He has reported that he replaced
the old line with a new four inch line. The Town's
responsibility is to provide water to the park, not within. He
is trying to negotiate with the park owners to help defray the
replacement costs.
The monthly report of the Town Clerk for the month of
December 1997 and the first quarter report of the Water and
Sewer Dept. for 1998 are on the table for review and filed in
the Town Clerk's office.
Supervisor Thorpe commented that the water report shows an
approximate loss of 250, which is normal.
