Approval of this article will allow the project to proceed, which will eliminate the "temporary" Plymouth Street pump station built in the 1970's, which is in need of major repair. It will also reduce sewer flows in the West Street sewer system.

EXPLANATION: The DPW Sewer Enterprise account had an unexpended FY2007 amount that was intended for the on -going repair of the Town's sewer system to eliminate Inflow and Infiltration, which is now a part of free cash. As experienced in the past during our major I &I repair program, the Town has been able to get more sewer lines and sewer manholes repaired at a lower unit cost, when larger amounts of work are bid, due to economies of scale. This transfer allows the money to accumulate in a capital account beyond the fiscal year, so that these economies of scale can be realized.
