Standing Committee On Public Works Subcommittee Meeting
The committee reviewed the withdrawal of a petition regarding making Samoset Road a public street. They discussed the proposed water and sewer rates for the upcoming fiscal year, confirming that while water rates will remain stable due to the use of reserves, sewer rates will increase due to higher assessments from the regional treatment facility, increased catch basin waste disposal costs, and reduced revenue from the Department of Conservation and Recreation. Additionally, the committee reviewed the capital budget for water infrastructure, specifically focusing on the Chandler Street water main replacement project.
