Gilford fire officials flag dry-hydrant problem at Marjorie’s Walk

Gilford Fire-Rescue Chief Carrier told engineers on Sept. 18 that the fire pond serving the Marjorie’s Walk neighborhood "does not hold water," and that the pond and dry hydrant may require a redesign or a new liner. He said he had met with residents to discuss the problem and possible fixes.

The minutes record the issue as part of the chief’s activities; the entry notes that the department is considering redesign options and that further engineering or a liner replacement could be necessary. No funding, schedule, or contracting details were recorded in the minutes, and the board did not record a formal motion on the item.
