Longer-form draft.
During the Water and Sewer Commission meeting on April 1, several critical issues regarding infrastructure and spending were addressed that directly impact Sunapee residents. First, a significant safety concern was raised regarding a sinkhole on Lower Main Street. The sinkhole is estimated to be four feet deep under the pavement near a residence. Preliminary reports suggest that recent digging near a water pipe may have crushed a sewer pipe, leading to the instability. Repairs are expected to begin this Friday. Regarding utility operations, the wastewater plant is currently dealing with equipment malfunctions. A failure in the wet well's communication system and faulty floats caused the well to fill up. While the Commission was able to pump the well down to prevent immediate overflow, the underlying mechanical issue remains unresolved and is awaiting inspection. Finally, the Commission moved forward with significant spending related to the proposed solar array. They unanimously approved a $12,000 deposit for a consultant (Revision) and authorized the Town Manager to sign an interconnection contract with Eversource. As these projects move forward, residents should remain attentive to how these long-term solar investments and consultant fees will affect water and sewer rates. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/sunapee/water-sewer-commission/2026-04-01/ #MeetingWatch #SunapeeNH
