What this means
The WPCA authorized the town to move forward with a lead survey under the Mayor’s proposed memorandum of understanding, which could allow the town to seek state reimbursement if lead is found and remediated. The board approved a new residential sewer price of $55 per month for up to 3,333 gallons plus $0.018 per gallon above that (commercial rates unchanged), effective July 1, 2026 — about a $9 average monthly increase. The EG Homes meter plan was postponed to the June 23 meeting, and the board discussed using the interconnect with SCWA to supply residents affected by PFAS in a town well; any sale or rate change to SCWA would need Town Council approval.
