WATER TREATMENT FACILITY Vehicle Wash Station - DPW Director Lee Azinheira notified the MBC Chairman and Member Ken Gay that the drainage system in the vehicle truck was not working as the Department of Public Works expected it would. The DPW Director feels that the catch basin should be able to contain a significant amount of excess sand and material without clogging the drain in the wash bay area. The drain has backed up on 2 -3 separate occasions. MBC's responsibility in overseeing the construction aspect of the Water Treatment Facility Project is complete. DPW will contact the Project Engineer at Woodard & Curran and request this situation be evaluated to confirm that the wash station is operating in a manner that meets the expectations of its design or whether modifications to the system would be required to prevent future back -ups. MBC Chairman requested the DPW Director to keep the Municipal Building Committee informed of the outcome. Budget —DPW plans to submit a Warrant Article for the May 16, 2006 Annual Town Meeting to transfer the sum of $13, 000 previously borrowed for design fees associated with the Water Treatment Project, but were removed from the original budget to ensure sufficient funds would be available to complete the project. The proposed article is for combined purchase and installation of power washer equipment ($10,000) for the vehicle wash station and electrical modifications made to reduce future energy costs ($3,000) at the water treatment facility. 8:00 P.M. Discussion regarding the Water Treatment Facility ended. Lee Azinheira left the meeting. Member David Young and Member Jim Liddick joined the meeting at this point.
