This May 18, 2018 work session records that Town Engineer Robert Rauch recommended immediate repairs to a section of the sewer collection system after limited video inspection and town staff observations identified a consistent high base flow serving homes on Del Rhodes Avenue; the Del Rhodes Avenue pumping station is also a suspected source of inflow.

Clerk/Treasurer Amy Moore and Finance Chair Patricia Bowell presented a first draft general fund budget with no proposed tax rate increases, and the Commissioners approved David Sears’s proposal to remove and install new sidewalks on Maryland Avenue and Steamboat Avenue for $8,211 (concrete quoted as 18 yds at $150/yd); the meeting adjourned at 4:13 p.m.

Town Engineer, Robert Rauch, provided the Clerk with a memo to the Commissioners with his
recommendation to initiate repairs to a section ofthe collection system. The Town has been
experiencing high flows. The Town has completed a limited amount ofvideo inspection based

section ofthe system that provides service to a limited number ofhomes on Del Rhodes Ave.
