Discussions:
The following is a brief summary of discussions:
Effluent Recharge Sites:
Reilly Property — A letter was sent January 5, 2011 to Reilly's indicating IMA
Committee interested in acquiring all 51 acres of site. Bill Ross will follow -up
with their attorney, Marc Antine, to determine next steps. Butch Reilly had called
Representative Barrows asking what the status was at this time.
2. Treatment Plant Expansion Options:
• David Young distributed hard copies and had sent electronic copies to each
community of the January 2011 Report of WPCF Expansion Scenarios. He briefly
reviewed the information in the report including background information and data
utilized and the costs for the 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5 mgd scenarios. All agreed based on
this information that the 1.5 mgd scenario made the most sense and was the most
cost effective.
• Projected expansion flows at this time are Mansfield 0.450 mgd; Easton as
customer to Mansfield 0.125 mgd; Foxborough 0.325 mgd and Norton 0.500 mgd
for a total of 1.400 mgd. Communities would make -up difference to get to the 1.5
mgd expansion.
3. Discussion of Draft of Regional District Agreement
• Norton: Diane McElligott was unable to attend this meeting and so discussion of
the proposed Norton PILOT was delayed until the next meeting. Norton will now
restart discussions with Wheaton College now that they have updated costs for
expansion.
• Foxborough: They continue to negotiate with Patriots over obtaining money to
help with their wastewater program. No set deadlines though. Kevin Paicos to
become more involved in this District process and would like copies of
Legislation and Draft Agreement.
• Mansfield: Drafting town meeting articles for Reilly property acquisition. Also
will follow-tip with Easton about confirming their flow requests and the costs.
Easton would be a customer to Mansfield.
