Committee Recommends Bylaw Change Letting Board of Public Works Update Water Rules with Notice

Article 12 gives the Board of Public Works authority to make changes to water rules and regulations governing the town's water, sewer and trash operations. Committee members asked whether the regulatory changes would still require the notification previously adopted (90/120-day posting) and whether the process would fall under general notice/notification rules; staff said they expect general procedures to apply and agreed to confirm with counsel.

The committee voted unanimously to recommend Article 12 and asked that the final rationale explicitly note that changes would follow the town's general notification procedures so residents have advance notice of regulatory changes.
