Lead service inventory and library maintenance among CIP items previewed

Melissa Roy told the committee the town is preparing several water‑ and facility‑related CIP items and that one federally required task—the lead service line inventory—carries an estimated cost of $173,000 divided over 10 years.

"I think it's $173,000 and we're going through the lead service line inventory that is required by the federal government," Roy said. She also noted potential sewer bond projects (Clemson Pond rehabilitation and High Street cross‑country sewer rehab) and a planned $25,000 annual contribution to the library building maintenance fund to avoid drawing on operating budgets for repairs.

Committee members discussed the timing of CIP publication and next steps: the planning board has approved the CIP, the select board will review recommendations, and the Budget Recommendation Committee will vet items before they move to warrant consideration.
