Longer-form draft.
During the Water and Sewer Commission meeting on May 28, several decisions were made regarding town infrastructure and long-term maintenance that residents should be aware of. First, the Commission addressed a manhole maintenance contract. After receiving only one bid—submitted by Septic Express LLC for $35,187—the board opted to move forward with the work as a 'test drive.' This approach is intended to evaluate the quality of the inspections and repairs before the town commits to more extensive, long-term maintenance needs. Additionally, the Superintendent raised concerns regarding water quality compliance. While the plant is running well, copper levels in the wastewater remain a 'borderline issue.' The board was cautioned that this could lead to future regulatory changes or compliance challenges if levels are not managed. Finally, the board received updates on the implementation of new cybersecurity equipment for the drinking water system to address existing security vulnerabilities in the municipal infrastructure. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/sunapee/water-sewer-commission/2026-05-28/ #MeetingWatch #SunapeeNH
