Minutes from the December 16,2010 meeting were approved all in favor 3-0.
Mr. Genovesi received a letter from Steve May, Construction Manager regarding
renovation of home. During construction the home collapsed and broke the water line.
Contractor shut water off at street and removed meter which was brought to the treatment
plant. Steve stated in the letter that it was against the commission's policy to tamper with
Water Department property. Also it is against the rules and regulations to remove meters.
Steve's letter stated the different fines for what had been done. Mr. Genovese stated he
was not aware that what he was done by his contractor was against our rules. Steve
suggested that in lieu of the fees have Mr. Genovesi install a meter pit at the edge of
property so that if there are any additional leaks that they may be picked up. Mr.
Genovesi agreed to have meter pit installed and he also stated he is planning on putting in
a second meter for irrigation. Motion made by Peter seconded by Chris all in favor 3-0.
Chief Silvia has been given a grant in the amount of $165,000 to upgrade the antenna
system for the town. They want to put the dishes on both water tanks. A copy is attached
of the Public Safety Radio and Data Network. Chief Silvia is looking for approval from
the Commission to put said antenna systems on the tanks. Chief Silvia also gave a map of
the areas where reception is bad. The Chief then supplied another map which shows the
increase in areas. They are also looking to put said antennas up at Hull Town Hall and
the Cohasset Police&Fire Station at 44 Elm Street. These 4 additional upgrades would
significantly improve radio reception in the town.
The Commission only had to issues with the Chiefs request. Check to make sure that
construction does not interfere with AT&T and Verizon and also make sure no welding to

normal. Motion made by Chris to approve last two quarterly abatements, seconded by
Peter all in favor 3-0. Abatement filed in customer file.

Cohasset Water Commission
Executive Session—February 8, 2011
Rob Hillman reported on the two acres off of Doane Street, which were taken in 2007 for
$15,000. At the time of the taking there was no appraisal. Plaintiff's attorneys want to
settle for fair value, suggested at $47,000 based on market comps. Hillman suggested
that the commission settle as the price was fair and winning would be costly and
uncertain. At the time of the taking, abutting properties had sold for 29,000.
Commissioner DeCaprio asked about returning the property and attorney Hillman stated
that approach would require Town Meeting approval. Hillman suggested that approach
would be problematic for a number of reasons.
Commissioner Pratt asked if a statute of limitations applied and attorney Hillman
indicated affirmative with a 6 year life.
Commissioner Seebeck stated he would first like to speak with finance direct/town
manager to show where the monies are.
The Commission is going to meet with Steve Lombard and speak with him before
proceeding.
In the meantime attorney Hillman will go in front of judge to get motion for a stay of
three months in order for the commission to outline its proposed course of action.
Commissioner Pratt makes a motion to settle Smith vs Water Dept land taking in the
amount of$47,000 as recommended by counsel. Seconded by Commissioner DeCaprio.
All in favor 3-0.
Executive Session adjourned at 9:30pm.

Minutes of the Cohasset Board of Water Commissioners
March 29, 2011
Members Present: Christopher Seebeck, Chairman
Glenn Pratt, Vice-Chairman
Peter DeCaprio, Clerk
Recording Secretary: Brenda Douglas
Guests Present: Norman Lavigne and Steve May of American Water Services
& Tom Keeffe of Tutela Engineering, customers included: Katherine Becker, 132
Pleasant St, Diane Esslinger, 123 Pleasant St, Martha Ogrodkik, 55 Reservoir
Road, Michael Ronzoni, 56 Reservoir Rd and Virginia Brophy, 16 Beechwood
Street.
Chairman Christopher Seebeck called the meeting to order at 7:00 pm.
Chairman Seebeck then asked if any of the public would like to make comments
all declined.
Approval of minutes from February 8, 2011 meeting brought to board for
approval. Chris requested that the notes be tabled until next meeting since they
had not been reviewed as of yet.
Abatement Request
Forrer (65 Pleasant Street) Owner experienced a leaky toilet. — Motion by Chris
Seebeck and seconded by Peter DeCaprio to deny abatement. The Commission
felt that the small leak in the toilet did not constitute abatement since the
consumption was negligible and this was a home maintenance issue.
Red Lion Inn —They were charged for a private fire hydrant this year as well as
last. The Department removed that hydrant and moved it across the street to the
public parking lot. All agreed to approve both abatements, total amount of
abatements $1,200.00. Motion made to approve both abatements by Peter
DeCaprio seconded by Chris Seebeck, all in favor 3-0.

Bear Hill Tank
Glenn Pratt went to School Committee meeting to discuss the reinstated access
road to Bear Hill tank. The main topic was the times in which the School
Committee would like the road restricted. Glenn agreed with the times as
outlined: 6:45am-7:45am and 1:45pm — 3:45pm during school days. The
Commission stated this would not be an issue during the construction of the road
since there will be a police detail present.
American Water— Plant/Distribution Reports
(See Attached Report Presented by Norman Lavigne, Project Manager American
Water)
Overtime Hours
Norman relayed to the commission that employee Thomas Fennessey would be
returning June 1st. Peter DeCaprio was concerned with the cost of a full time
employee vs keeping paying Tom on a part time basis at an overtime rate. Peter
felt it was more cost effective to keep paying the overtime. It was suggested that
it was time to sit down with American Water and discuss staffing.
Maintenance Cap for February was $1,362.26. Fiscal Year to date is
$25,949.18.
Chemical Costs — February's costs were $18,528.00. Norman reported it looks
like the Commission will come in at below the budgeted $150,000.
Precipitation Status — Drought status for February stood at normal. Februarys
rainfall was at 4.03 inches. March is currently at 2.20 and the Norm would be
4.65 which is dramatically low this year. Norman reported that Bound Brook
Control Structure is still overflowing as of 3/24/11.
TTHM & HAA Results: TTHM results average 50ppb (MCL = 80 ppb). HAA
results average 21.5 ppb (MCL = 60 ppb).
Linden Ponds: February's bill went out in the amount of $14,590.76 which is
equivalent to 2,893,791 gallons of water sold. In November there was a 5.3%
increase which was back charged. Norman reported that there is still the
ongoing issue of getting the readings from Linden Ponds directly to us. Since we
are unable to get readings we have been driving over to Hingham on a monthly
basis. The next scheduled meeting will be on Tuesday, April 5t" at 10:00 am
Paul Oulette from Harbor controls will be attending. Commissioner DeCaprio
stated he would like to attend the meeting as well. Chris would also like a letter
put together regarding the true-up the excess water given to Aquarion. This
should be presented at the quarterly meeting with Aquarion and Linden Ponds.
Meter reading began on Monday March 28th. Two small hand held guns have
been serviced and one large handheld was sent out serviced and upgraded.
Brenda reported water/sewer bills will be sent out May 1st
Lead & Copper: Norman reported that they had applied to the DEP for reduced
monitoring. This would reduce sample sites from 40 to 20. Also the frequency
would be reduced from twice a year to once per year.
Phosphate: The plant is at the required 1.0 ppm required dosage leaving the
plant. Andrew Cottone, American Water Maintenance Supervisor has adjusted
back pressure valves at the injection point and so that the feed is more
consistent. Pb/Cu samples which are required under this monitoring came back
great, as reported by Norman. DEP conducted a site visit in February to inspect
phosphate system and no issues were reported.
Filter Effluent Valves (Capital Project) — New valves were installed into filter #2 &
#3. The plastic casings were completely worn so it was definitely time for this to
be done.
Chemical Fee (PAC) the person whom bid on it has been unresponsive. The
commission wants the info regarding the company sent to them to see if still in
business, if not go to the 2nd bidder. Norman stated that there was a $1600
increase rate and the commission agreed to get it done. The monies have been
appropriated and the state is making this a requirement. Norman will check with
Andrew who has been spearheading the work. He will direct Andrew to contact
2nd contractor and get work started.
Sludge: Norman reported that it looks as though the current Geotubes will have
adequate capacity to process the sludge two more times before requiring
disposal. This should bring disposal date to Spring of 2012.
Ma DEP meeting — Norman stated his concerns regarding the offsite sites. He is
going to formally request that on the off seasons that these sites are not visited.
Norman visited these sites with Andrew and found them to be extremely
dangerous. This brought up the question on whether to have the #2 truck fixed.
Andrew was driving it to one of the off sites when it slid in the snow and hit a tree.
Norman reported that Brenda had contacted the Town Insurance Company,
MIIA, and got a settlement check. He also explained that there is a $1,000
deductible so the original quote for the work will not be able to be done for the
amount given. Norman explained that this is the truck that they just had a
transmission put in, and that it is our plow truck as well. The Commission agreed
that he truck needs to be fixed and functional. Norman will get prices of getting
the truck fixed for the amount allocated. In the meantime the check has been
deposited in the Town's insurance account.
Ellms Meadow: Norman reported that they are ready to install a phosphate feed
system at the station using an onsite pump. The cost to get it up and running is
expected to be less than $100. He also reported that only about 1 gallon of
phosphate will be store onsite. He expects the station to go online once the DEP
approves the installation.
Plant Breaker— It was reported that the main plant breaker has been serviced
and is working, but still needs to be replaced as it is 35 years old. Steve May,
Construction Manager, American Water, reported he is pricing a new unit.
CCR - American Water will be responsible for putting together the CCR and
sending it to the commission for their review only. Norman has sent the
necessary information onto Aquarion already for their CCR.
Norman announced that he now has his treatment license. He will be doing the
ASR, Annual Statistical Report, electronically and has added a user id for the
Commission. This will be provided to Chris Seebeck, Chairman.
Correspondence: Norman reported that a request from Susan Linberg came
thru. She was requesting permission from the Board to allow her dog to train for
hunt tests and field trails in Wampatuck State Park. There would be water
training involved so Wampatuck Park suggested she contact the Water
Department for permission. Norman wrote a letter to Steve Gammons, Park
Ranger, giving Ms. Linberg permission, (a copy of the letter is attached).
Steve May, Construction Manager, then reported on the following:
Avalon Bay— The original agreement was that they could use 1 1/2 meters at a 1
'/2 meter cost even though it will be a 2" meter. There was a brief discussion and
it was decided that 2" meter would be used at 2" meter rates. Steve will set up
another meter to discuss the increase. Peter DeCaprio offered to attend the
meeting with Steve. It was decided that since no applications had been filled out
that they would have to follow the current rates and regulations.
61 Pleasant Street— Steve stated that the homeowner had just replaced their
entire water line, but still did not have great volume or flow. Steve stated it may
be necessary to replace from main to shut off. Steve stated they reamed out the
pipe as far as they could but it looks as if there is a lead gooseneck at the main.
There was a discussion by the Commission and it was agreed that they would
replace from main to shut off. Motion was made by Peter DeCaprio and
seconded by Chris Seebeck, Glenn Pratt agreed. All in favor 3-0.
Steve May stated he had a report of a broken gate box cover 17 King Street it
has been reported by Paul Laugelle. Peter wanted to know how the box got
broken and Steve stated that a plow truck damaged it. Peter DeCaprio wants a
bill sent to the DPW for them to fix. He no longer wants to pay for other
departments mishaps.
Variable Milfoil — Steve will contact the company who has placed the sheets
before and see if their quote is still applicable. This needs to be done as soon as
possible in order to keep it from growing.
The commission had a discussion regarding notifying the public to have their
backflows inspected prior to turning on their sprinkler systems. The commission
would like to have a reverse 911 call to go out, a bill stuffier as well as have
something put in the paper.
Steve presented a cost breakdown for Truck #3 and Truck #6 for maintenance. It
was decided to stay local if the price was right. Robbins Garage came in at the
best price so it was decided to have them do rear brakes and rotors on Truck #3
and U-Joints and wheel bearings on Truck #6, a copy of the breakdown is
attached.
Steve presented his full report — See Attached
Leak detection is required this year, Chris stated that it should be in the budget
for the year.
Tank inspections are required once a month, surface inspection only. We have
started. Steve will check on the cost of getting a climber for the tank inspection.
11 Stratford Terrace —This is the area where the contractor was found to have
gotten on a hydrant illegally without a meter or backflow. Steve had sent the
owner a letter stating that there were files affiliated with this. The Commission
requested the bill to go out. Brenda stated the bill had already been generated
and would be mailed out in the morning.
Peter DeCaprio then asked if the property at 138 Atlantic Avenue had been
leined for the monies owed the Water Department. Brenda explained that the
$1000 will be attached to the next water bill. It was then explained that if the
home sells before the bill goes out that the $1000 service fee will be put on the
final water bill.
cn
Spring Flushing Program to begin on or about April 18
Budget
Chris went to meet with the Advisory Board as well as Town Hall. Advisory was
fine with the budget that he had put together, but the Town came back with
some changes. The Town Hall said they only budgeted for $247,000 for hydrant
fees and Chris stated it is $300,000. This would give a shortfall to the budget for
the upcoming fiscal year. Chris stated that town hall services had increased and
we had no say so about that. The $300,000 was already agreed upon. He
stated it was not the Water Departments fault if the line item was not budgeted in
the correct amount. Chris is planning on sending in the bill for $300,000.
Chris stated that the short fall will hurt but he has made adjustments to the
budget. Chris is ready to submit based on his numbers even if the town is not
able to pay the agreed upon amount. The Commission agreed to have the
budget submitted as written.
Chris also stated that the Linden ponds revenue he based on the lower years of
2008-2009.
The commission then went into how to come up with a 5 year projection. They
discussed that they only way they could reduce costs is with the American Water
Contract.
A motion was made by Peter DeCaprio and seconded by Glenn Pratt and agreed
by Chris Seebeck, all in favor 3-0 to go into Executive Session at 9:35pm
Meeting reconvened at 9:50pm
The Commission then reviewed and approved all warrants as presented. Motion
made by Peter 2"d by Glenn all in favor 3-0.

RE: Bear Hill tank access
Dear Mr.Pratt,
At their last meeting,you presented the Cohasset School Committee with information regarding
a new access driveway located off Reservoir road that leads to Bear Hill water tank. As you
know they are concerned with the safety of students as they walk to and from school on that
existing dirt driveway while maintenance vehicles are traveling on that driveway as well. You
have agreed to restrict use of that driveway during the following times for the safety of students.
Restrictions include 6.45am-7:45am and 1:45pm-3:45pm during school days.
( Thank you for supporting this request and keeping the safety of our students a priority.

Dear Steve Gammons,
This correspondence is in response to a request by Susan Lindberg.
She is interested in obtaining a permit from Wampatuck State Park to train her retriever
for hunt tests and field trials in Wampatuck State Park.
The Cohasset Water Department is aware that she proposes to use the Hingham side of
Wampatuck State Park for water training her dog. Water Training means that rubber
bumpers are thrown from the shore or canoe into the water for the dog to retrieve.
Thank you for considering the Cohasset Water Department's potential concerns as part of
your permitting process. We are not opposed to her request.

ROUGH DRAFT
Minutes of the Cohasset Board of Water Commissioners
Mary 3, 2011
Members Present: Christopher Seebeck, Chairman
Glenn Pratt, Vice-Chairman
Peter DeCaprio, Clerk
Recording Secretary: Brenda Douglas
Guests Present: Norman Lavigne of American Water, Thomas Keeffe of Tutela
Engineering, David Drake & Bradley McKenzie of McKenzie Engineering, Jody
Butman of Spring Street
Vice-Chairman Glenn Pratt opened the meeting due to the fact that Chairman
Seebeck will be late. Meeting convened at 7:02 pm.
Bradley McKenzie spoke in regards to the Property owned by Tom Sullivan 82
Whitehead. The Engineering Company presented to the commission with a set
of plans as to what Mr. Sullivan would like done to the property. They are
planning on raising the existing structure and build larger home. The home
would be moved to meet with the town guidelines. They would like to move the
existing 2" main so that the new footprint of the home would not be on top of our
main. They would like the main closer to the property line. Glenn Pratt stated
that the commission would not have a problem with the relocation but there does
need to be a certain distance from the main to the home. The engineers stated
that the home would be a small base but it would bow out and be on stilts for the
outer portion of the home. Glenn stated that if the home is on stilts that home
must not be over the water main. Glenn stated that we would need an easement
to be put in place first of all. They would need to make sure that the main is not
any closer to the beach than it currently is. The Engineers will put together a
couple of proposals and come back in front of the board for a final agreement.
O'Meara — Commissioner DeCaprio stated he met with Mr. O'Meara and he
agreed to pay fine and promised not to do it again.
Willms — He is refusing to pay or admit to the theft. He refused to pay the
$8810.00 for a new service. Peter stated if we eliminate the $8810.00 and just
charge him for one year of usage and the penalty even though it should be two
years he will pay. I will edit the current bill to remove the $8810.00 and get it to
Peter and he will include a letter.
33 Old Pasture- Brendan found the meter to be cut out and a spigot on the
service. Norm wanted to know what the assessment should be for the bill.
800.00 frozen meter and $5,000 theft of water. I will put together a bill and Norm
will call homeowner.
Avalon — Glenn wanted to make clear that before the final pavement is put in that
an easement needs to be put in place. Contact Gary and tell him to come to next
meeting to speak in regards to meters. I explained how Gary stated that they
wanted only 1" meters now. Glenn requested that Norm go to the site and check
what is going on daily.
MPS (sludge lagoon cleaning company) — Norm reported that they would be
coming this week. Norm stated that we should be able to process in the tubes
one more time. Norm also reported that the cost should be approximately
$20,000. Peter requested an accurate accounting for next year so that it may be
put in the RFP.
American Water Reports
Report provided by Norman Lavigne, a copy is provided.
New chemical feed tank: Norm reported that the tank that was installed is
bowing and that he was planning on having it reinforced. The Commission
wanted to know who designed the tank. Tom Keeffe stated that it was his
design. The commission does not want to reinforce the existing tank they want a
new round tank purchased and installed.
Peter requested from Norm the number to bill Aquarion for our over usage for
last summer.
Peter requested that the staff go on a weekly basis and get readings from
Avalon.
Norm reported that truck #2, which is the plow truck needed significant repairs.
Peter stated that he did not want anymore money being put into this vehicle. He
stated that if it was necessary to have the Steve's truck converted to the plow
truck.
Check on Milfoil quotes — Both Commission Pratt and DeCaprio want the quotes
for milfoil compared to last years quote. They want to make sure that the quote
is comparable to last years price. If this is determined then both Commissioners
Pratt and DeCaprio stated to go forward with the work.
Glenn stated that Avalon is being brought in front of the Conservation
Commission for the run off going onto 3A. Glenn requested that Norm check to
see if it is running off on the back side. Norm stated that he would look into this.
Motion made to go into executive session at 8:35pm
Executive Session May 3, 2011
Commissioner Chris Seebeck phoned into be involved.
Smith vs Water Dept. Town Counsel wants sign off from DEP. This has not
been signed off on since W&S were fired. Glenn stated that an engineer needs
to sign off on he suggested that Tom do it. Letter came in from Bond Counsel
per Glenn. Chris question why they wanted this document when the money was
coming out of 2004 town meeting. Chris feels that it has to do with the issues
that the water dept has had in the past year.
Glenn would like Tom to contact DEP and find out exactly what is needed. It was
agreed that this is not an American Water duty. Once he has spoken with DEP
come up with a plan on how to proceed.
When peter met with Aquarion he was looking for a larger agreement with them.
The thoughts were to put the two systems together. Nothing can be done with
the bonds. Chris wanted to now if a sale pending could be done. There was a
talk of them leasing first then owning after 20 years.
Long term lease back????
They would own production and distribution.
Transfer cash flow stream. They would have to make sure that they would not
be put into a water deficit/Water restriction.
The commission would maintain ?????
They want to take money from Aquarion and give money back to the customer.
Bring back the rates back to where they were years.
Only other option would be to take the operation in-house. Glenn suggested
bringing in Water planning group. Peter would like to see if Aquarion is really
interested if so then go to Water Planning Group.
Peter wants to avoild that personal here be put under the town.
Peter wants to know if they come back and say no what can they come back
with? Possiblities not giving them extra water, make them pay for the extra water
given.
There was a discussion who could write the RFP. Glenn stated Norfolk Ram
wrote the last one and he would not suggest them again.
Out of executive session 1st by peter 2nd by Glenn all in favor 3-0. @ 9:21 pm.
Back to regular meeting at 9:22pm
Approved Warrant as written.
Vote to go into executive session

NOTES FOR NEW COMMISSIONERS
Open distribution proiects
1. Cedar Street Loop — we have an agreement from the Developer of Old Colony Square that
when we loop our system from the DPW garage, to the golf course maintenance center,
they will contribute $20,000. This is negotiated when we calculated their system
development charge.
2. Pressure Zone — Veterans Area — The pipe size is very small in the so called Veterans area
(Clay Spring Road, Tupelo Road, Arrowwood Street, Bayberry, Old Pasture Road, Reservoir
Road, and Evergreen Lane) and the elevation is high and water pressure is very low. Tutela
designed a pressure system for this area and Fair Oaks Lane which isolates these mains and
connects them to a pumping station that will boost pressure.
3. Loop South Main Street and Ledgewood Farm —South Main Street is a long dead end main
and the mains in the Brewster Road, Ledgewood neighborhood are another long dead-end.
In 2006 we purchased easements through three properties (Stelljes, Winchester, and
Collins) and designed a water main connection between Ledgewood and South Main.
4. Easement through the Cook property — We have an agreed and recorded easement from
the developers of the Cook property to connect the newly installed water main on their
project to our system on Evergreen Lane for part of the high pressure zone.
5. Cunningham Bridge — The original 10 inch duct tile iron water main installed in the bridge
during the new construction in the 60's froze and broke sometime during the 1980's. As
part of our Capital Improvement Projects around 2004 we repaired the broken main by
inserting a plastic 8 inch main through the old 10 inch iron. Since future repairs appear to
require that we replace the deck of the bridge, we have been vigilant about keeping water
running during the cold months through the nearby hydrant.
Land
1. Land swap and reconfiguration at the site of the old Sohier Street wells for the new Senior
Center. This turns over part of our unneeded land (because of the abandonment of the
Sohier Street wells) to the Town for use to build the new Senior Center building. I am a
member of the Senior Center Building Committee and will plan to represent the commission
as this project moves along.
2. Conservation restriction on land in the west end of Scituate, so called Litchfield/Maxwell
Trust. This is a 40 acre parcel of land that was purchased jointly by the Maxwell Trust and
the Scituate CPC, with a $125,000 contribution from the Cohasset Water Department in
exchange for a conservation restriction. This parcel and others is in our reservoir
watershed. Town Counsel is currently working with Scituate Town Counsel and a
Massachusetts Department of Environmental Affairs to finalize the paperwork. I will
continue to follow this with Town Counsel.
3. Brass Kettle Brook Conservation Area — This is the assembled 400 acres in our watershed
behind Lily Pond and west of King Street through to Doane Street in Beechwood. A
conservation restriction is being granted to the Trustees of Reservations in exchange for
their cash contributions and their agreement to provide forestry management. Currently
their land/legal group is working with Town Counsel to finalize these documents. There are
also some unanswered engineering questions relative to property lines. This project has
been in the works for nearly 7 years and it involved many funding sources, I will plan to
follow this through with all parties, but run any issues of agreements by the Commission.
4. Smith vs. Water Cohasset Department—We need to attempt to get a final permit from DEP
for our lagoon project so that we can provide Bond Counsel with documentation to release
the additional $47,000 to settle the Smith claim. I can follow this through, if you wish.
Other
1. During the negotiations for the Linden Ponds wholesale water purchase we verbally
committed to their mortgage lender that we would go to our Town Meeting at some point
and ask that their agreement be extended from 20 years to 40 years. We have done nothing
about this to date, may not matter at this point.
2. Rules and Regulations —One of the big money saving changes in the Rules and Regulations
might be to require that customers are responsible from the corporation at the main to
their meter. Currently we are responsible from the main to the curb-stop.
3. Bear Hill Power— I am going to continue to stay involved with the Fire Chief and Emergency
Management to see that we obtain the proper easements and/or construction for utilities
(power, cable, fiber).

Jenkins, all in favor. Peter DeCaprio nominated Christopher Seebeck for Vice
Chairman seconded by Lee Jenkins all in favor. Christopher Seebeck nominated
Leonora Jenkins for Clerk, seconded by Peter DeCaprio, all in favor.
Public Comment/Abatement Requests
Tracy Kearney of 461 C J Cushing Highway came before the board to request an
abatement of her May 2, 2011 bill. She stated that during the time period of the
bill her family was out of town and that her husband only returned to the home on
a few occasions. She also stated that she had someone coming in to check on
the home. It was reported by Brenda Douglas that the meter had been checked
and there was only 800 cubic feet of water used in 7 weeks. The Distribution
staff found the meter to be working properly and no leaks were detected. After a
lengthy discussion Chairman DeCaprio offered Mrs. Kearney a one time 50%
reduction off of the bill. Christopher Seebeck made a motion that they would
give a one time 50 % reduction in the bill 2 d by Peter all in favor.
339 King Street, Cohasset, Massachusetts 02025
Tel: (781) 383-0057 Fax: (781) 383-2906 www.cohassetwater.org
Ross Sherbrooke of 311 Jerusalem Road came in to request an abatement of his
May 2, 2011 water bill. This is for his boathouse account. Mr. Sherbrooke
reported that the service line to the boathouse had been abandoned and a new
line has been put in from the main house out to the boathouse. Mr. Sherbrooke
reported that T.L. laria had done the work and he was under the assumption that
the line had been disconnected from the water main. Brenda Douglas reported
that she spoke with Mr. laria and he stated that he had not removed from the
main. The normal procedure would be to cut and cap the line from the main.
Unfortunately in this case the road has just been paved and it would not be
allowed to be dug up at this time. A motion was made by Christopher Seebeck
to abate the $187.00 Capital Recovery Charge and remove the account from the
billing system, he also stated that a bill in the amount of$100.00 would be sent to
Mr. Sherbrooke for the inspection fee. This was seconded by Peter DeCaprio all
in favor.
Peter Laugelle and David Drake presented the board with plans for 82
Whitehead. It was agreed to put a 50" sleeve on the 2" line and we would be
given an easement for the entire property line. Tom Keeffe suggested an 8"
sleeve and filling it with sand. Tom asked that he be given a day or so to think
about the size of the sleeve before committing. Tom also suggested to have
valves on both sides of the connecting pipe. Christopher Seebeck made a
motion to add a sleeve to be able to handle an 8" pipe, and an easement be
given on the property with the condition that Tom Keefe be give 48 hours to
review. This was seconded by Peter DeCaprio, all in favor.
Mr. John Gallagher of 21 Ledgewood Drive approached the board stating that it
was his intention to replace his service line. He stated that he has plenty of
pressure but not enough volume for his home. He requested at the time of his
replacement that the board replace from the main to the shutoff. After a brief
discussion the commission agreed as long as it is after July 1, 2011.
Brian Kearney of 33 Old Pasture Road went in front of the board to discuss a
letter that he received from Project Manager Norman Lavigne. The letter detailed
that on April 6, 2011 the Water Department meter reader observed that the water
meter had been removed from the service line and that a spigot had been
illegally attached to the service line. The letter stated a $5,000 penalty was being
assessed for theft of water as well as an $800.00 for a meter replacement. Mr.
Kearney stated that he meant no deceit on his part. The house had been
completely gutted and he had plumbers as well as contractors on site. (Plumber:
(Nathan) MacDonald Plumbing, P.O. Box 755, East Bridgewater, (508) 583-
6800, personal address P.O. Box 577, Easton. They had made him aware that
there was a water issue and they did this so that the place did not flood. After a
lengthy discussion, a motion was made by Christopher Seebeck to waive $5000
fine but hold Mr. Kearney responsible for the $800.00 meter replacement fee.
This was seconded by Peter DeCaprio. All in favor.
Brenda Douglas then presented the board with the following abatement request:
Mrs. Kari O'Donnell of 11 Beach Street requested her entire usage on her May 2,
2011 bill be waived due to the fact that the 3900 cubic feet was generated from
12/29/10-1/5/11. During this time period they were away and the dog sitter found
339 King Street, Cohasset, Massachusetts 02025
Tel: (781) 383-0057 Fax: (781) 383-2906 www.cohassetwater.org
that a pipe had burst on the 3" floor flooding the entire home. She reported in
her abatement request form that $1 million dollars in damage had been
assessed. The home was uninhabitable and they were forced to find alternate
housing. The commission agreed to abate 1100 cubic feet which will bring it
back to what her normal consumption would be during that time period.
Mr. John Joyce of 225 Sohier Street requested that the $187.00 Capital
Recovery Charge be abated. His reason was that the meter was installed on
3/24/11 and the billing period ended 3/31/11. He felt that he should not be
charged for such a short time period. Brenda Douglas explained the reason his
account was put up was the fact that his service line was tapped and inspected
on 2/22/11. This being the case he as been on the system long enough to be
charged the Capital Recovery Charge. All three Commissioners were in
agreement to deny the abatement.
Project Progress
Bear Hill Tank - Dan Bilezikian is looking for signature/sign off on the
modifications to the lease. There was discussion that the utilities are now going
to have to go underground.
Avalon Bay — No pictures were taken during the first phase of restraints. The
Commission wants confirmation from Brendan Stone that he either saw the
restraints or he has pictures. If neither can be provided then they will need to
excavate so that pictures can be taken. Norman Lavigne explained that when
Brendan got to the site for the first restraint his camera died and Avalon stated
they had pictures. The commission stated that if they do not have definitive
pictures then Brendan must sign something attesting that it was done properly.
Lee Jenkins then spoke about Avalon and how they wanted to downsize the
meters to be all 1" even though they initially asked for a mix of 1 and 1 Y2" meters
that we no longer carry. In these applications industry standards call for going up
to a larger meter and not down to a smaller one. Lee stated that she felt with the
information presented at the construction meeting and consultations with outside
engineers that not enough 2" meters were applied for the project. With the water
volume in the applications, according to the meter specs the 2" meters provide
better accuracy and less pressure loss. The bottom line is that Scott Dale is
strictly concerned with the quarterly charge of the 2" meters and wants to have a
price reduction of the 2" to the 1" cost. It was unanimously decided that we
would maintain the 2" meters that Avalon applied for in March and Peter
DeCaprio stated that he would call whoever is in charge stating that the meter
applications will stay as applied for. Brenda Douglas then stated that two 1"
meters have been installed and an appointment has been set up for next week
for two more. Brenda explained that once she is given the address no meter will
be put in unless it matches the application.
American Water— Plant/Distribution Reports
Project Manager Norman Lavigne reported that the Annual Statistical Report
(ASR) has been completed and was submitted on May 26tt'. He reported that
the unaccounted for water was calculated at 12% for 2010. Norman made a
339 King Street, Cohasset, Massachusetts 02025
Tel: (781) 383-0057 Fax: (781) 383-2906 www.cohassetwater.org
suggestion that a leak detection survey be scheduled for the fall. Norm is
awaiting quotes from vendors. On the ASR the residential gallons per capita day
for 2010 is 71. Currently our WMP Permit indicates this value must remain less
than 80 or DEP may require us to implement more stringent restrictions on
nonessential outside water use. If it exceeds 80 a program must be implemented
to have retrofit devices available to customers at cost. Also the DEP has
indicated that this value will most likely be reduced to 60 with the renewal of our
WMP Permit. The current permit had expired on August 31, 2010 but has since
been administratively extended until August 31, 2013.
Norm then reported that the fishway flows are at minimum flow of 2.2, CFS this is
being consistently maintained. The fishway weir gates at both Aaron River
Reservoir Dam and Bound Brook Control Structure are at their highest elevation
in order to maintain maximum possible water reserves. Norm has received
comments from the DCR on 2010 data submission. The report was positive and
indicated significant progress towards validation of SCADA data points. Norman
continues to proactively work with DCR and is supplying them with monthly
updates. These monthly updates will continue until validation of SCADA is
complete. Norm reported that no herring have been observed to date, but other
area streams have seen record numbers. Norm also told the Commission that
he had arranged a class for the staff from South River Environmental. They
came to the office and gave a class on how to distinguish a herring from other
fish.
A sanitary survey by MA DEP was completed on May 17, 2011. Officials toured
all Water Department facilities including Aaron River Reservoir Dam, Bound
Brook Control Structure, Whitney Crossing Pump Station and Ellms Meadow and
the Water Treatment facility including the garage, emergency generator, and
sludge lagoons. Norm reported that the DEP questioned distribution staffing.
This brought on a lengthy discussion with the Commission and Norm. The
Commission was very unhappy that Norm had brought back Thomas Fennessey
to full time. They questioned that he did not have the right to do so without their
approval. They stated at a previous meeting that they would have Tom stay on
part time and pay the overtime. This is when Norm explained that the overtime
hours had been calculated incorrectly and what he had reported at the previous
meeting was incorrect. Previously he had reported them to be under the 650
hour cap when in fact they are already 180 hours over. This new figure will cost
the Commission $7,045.20.
Norm then reported that the CCR was ready. He informed the Commission that
the CCR must be mailed to DEP by July 1, 2011. The cost associated with the
mailing is as follows: Postage $1,202.06, estimated printing cost based on last
years cost $840.00.
Norm then explained that the test results of the disinfection byproducts came
back not very good. The 2nd quarter monitoring was completed in May. THM
quarterly average is 84.50 ppb, and the annual THM running average is 84.15.
The raw TOC is slightly higher this year and TOC removal efficiency was down
for May. The Commission wanted to know why this was happening and Norm
was unable to answer definitely as he has not been able to investigate yet. Norm
will speak with the Treatment staff and get back to the Commission. A possible
339 King Street, Cohasset, Massachusetts 02025
Tel: (781) 383-0057 Fax: (781) 383-2906 www.cohassetwater.org
reason may be the fact that there is new equipment and the staff may not be
completely comfortable with it yet. One of the new pieces of equipment is the UV
analyzer. Norm will make sure that it is being used as directed. Norm also
suggested possible reason is that the samples are taken in the AM. Peter
DeCaprio then suggested that the testing not only be in the AM but later in the
afternoon as well. Tom Keeffe stated that he had seen in the past when tested
three times on one day that the results are up and down. The Commission
suggested doing additional testing throughout the year not just quarterly.
Some administrative items were discussed. The maintenance cap is up to
$28,565.15 year to date. Linden Ponds April bill was $16,352.82. The May
invoice has yet to be generated since no meter data has been available.
There was a very lengthy conversation regarding staffing of the facility. Chris
stated his issue is with the contract and that he was not trying to direct his
frustration at Norm directly but at American Water. He believes that some of the
staffing can be alleviated and credits can be given back. Commissioner
DeCaprio expressed the same concerns and made it perfectly clear that he was
not interested in having American Water back after the contract was over at the
end of June 2012.
Budget
Brenda Douglas presented her finding in working with Finance Director John
Stanbrook, see report. There was a discussion and breakdown of the current
accounting at present the general fund is -$16,953.41. Town hall services are in
excess of $349.35 which Steve Lombard said he will assume. Special Town
Meeting appropriation comes in very under budget.
Brenda presented the board with an e-mail from John Stanbrook with a
suggestion to do the following. Take the debt service surplus of$65,124.50 and
roll it into general expenses. In order to do this it would need to be voted on at
tonight's meeting so that Brenda can let John know and he can bring it in front of
the Selectmen first then the Advisory Board. If both boards approve, the monies
can be transferred before year end to help with the shortfall.
A motion was made by Peter DeCaprio to approve the debt service surplus
transferred up into the general expenses. The motion was seconded by Leonora
Jenkins all in favor 3-0.
Motion made to adjourn at 11:15pm
Respectfully Submitted

fine but hold Mr. Kearney responsible for the $800.00 meter replacement fee.
This was seconded by Peter DeCaprio. All in favor.
Brenda Douglas then presented the board with the following abatement request:
Mrs. Kari O'Donnell of 11 Beach Street requested her entire usage on her May 2,
2011 bill be waived due to the fact that the 3900 cubic feet was generated from
12/29/10-1/5/11. During this time period they were away and the dog sitter found
that a pipe had burst on the 3rd floor flooding the entire home. She reported in
her abatement request form that $1 million dollars in damage had been
assessed. The home was uninhabitable and they were forced to find alternate
housing. The commission agreed to abate 1100 cubic feet which will bring it
back to what her normal consumption would be during that time period.
Mr. John Joyce of 225 Sohier Street requested that the $187.00 Capital
Recovery Charge be abated. His reason was that the meter was installed on
3/24/11 and the billing period ended 3/31/11. He felt that he should not be
charged for such a short time period. Brenda Douglas explained the reason his
account was put up was the fact that his service line was tapped and inspected

A sanitary survey by MA DEP was completed on May 17, 2011. Officials toured
all Water Department facilities including Aaron River Reservoir Dam, Bound
Brook Control Structure, Whitney Crossing Pump Station and Ellms Meadow and
the Water Treatment facility including the garage, emergency generator, and
sludge lagoons. Norm reported that the DEP questioned distribution staffing.
This brought on a lengthy discussion with the Commission and Norm. The
Commission was very unhappy that Norm had brought back Thomas Fennessey
to full time. They questioned that he did not have the right to do so without their
approval. They stated at a previous meeting that they would have Tom stay on
part time and pay the overtime. This is when Norm explained that the overtime
hours had been calculated incorrectly and what he had reported at the previous
meeting was incorrect. Previously he had reported them to be under the 650
hour cap when in fact they are already 180 hours over. This new figure will cost
the Commission $7,045.20.
Norm then reported that the CCR was ready. He informed the Commission that
the CCR must be mailed to DEP by July 1, 2011. The cost associated with the
mailing is as follows: Postage $1,202.06, estimated printing cost based on last
years cost $840.00.
Norm then explained that the test results of the disinfection byproducts came
back not very good. The 2"d quarter monitoring was completed in May. THM
quarterly average is 84.50 ppb, and the annual THM running average is 84.15.
The raw TOC is slightly higher this year and TOC removal efficiency was down
for May. The Commission wanted to know why this was happening and Norm
was unable to answer definitely as he has not been able to investigate yet. Norm
will speak with the Treatment staff and get back to the Commission. A possible
reason may be the fact that there is new equipment and the staff may not be
completely comfortable with it yet. One of the new pieces of equipment is the UV
analyzer. Norm will make sure that it is being used as directed. Norm also
suggested possible reason is that the samples are taken in the AM. Peter
DeCaprio then suggested that the testing not only be in the AM but later in the
afternoon as well. Tom Keeffe stated that he had seen in the past when tested
three times on one day that the results are up and down. The Commission
suggested doing additional testing throughout the year not just quarterly.
Some administrative items were discussed. The maintenance cap is up to
$28,565.15 year to date. Linden Ponds April bill was $16,352.82. The May
invoice has yet to be generated since no meter data has been available.
There was a very lengthy conversation regarding staffing of the facility. Chris
stated his issue is with the contract and that he was not trying to direct his
frustration at Norm directly but at American Water. He believes that some of the
staffing can be alleviated and credits can be given back. Commissioner
DeCaprio expressed the same concerns and made it perfectly clear that he was
not interested in having American Water back after the contract was over at the
end of June 2012.
Budget
Brenda Douglas presented her finding in working with Finance Director John
Stanbrook, see report. There was a discussion and breakdown of the current
accounting at present the general fund is -$16,953.41. Town hall services are in
excess of$349.35 which Steve Lombard said he will assume. Special Town
Meeting appropriation comes in very under budget.
Brenda presented the board with an e-mail from John Stanbrook with a
suggestion to do the following. Take the debt service surplus of$65,124.50 and
roll it into general expenses. In order to do this it would need to be voted on at
tonight's meeting so that Brenda can let John know and he can bring it in front of
the Selectmen first then the Advisory Board. If both boards approve, the monies
can be transferred before year end to help with the shortfall.
A motion was made by Peter DeCaprio to approve the debt service surplus
transferred up into the general expenses. The motion was seconded by Leonora
Jenkins all in favor 3-0.
Motion made to adjourn at 11.15pm

Dear Members of the Board of Water Commissioners:
I live at 21 Ledgewood Drive in Cohasset. There is not adequate water volume being
supplied to my house at this time. To rectify this problem I will replace and increase the
size of the water line from the curb stop to my house.
I was told by employees of the Cohasset Water Department that the town will replace
and increase the size of the pipe from the water main to the curb stop to complete the
repair. I am requesting that this work be authorized at the time when I replace the existing
water pipe.
This work will increase the volume of water to my residence and improve living
conditions in my home.
Thank for your consideration with this matter.
Sincerely,
John M.VGn

Public Comment/Abatement Requests
Tracy Kearney of 461 C J Cushing Highway came before the board to request an
abatement of her May 2, 2011 bill. She stated that during the time period of the
bill her family was out of town and that her husband only returned to the home on
a few occasions. She also stated that she had someone coming in to check on
the home. It was reported by Brenda Douglas that the meter had been checked
and there was only 800 cubic feet of water used in 7 weeks. The Distribution
staff found the meter to be working properly and no leaks were detected. After a
lengthy discussion Chairman DeCaprio offered Mrs. Kearney a one time 50%
reduction off of the bill. Christopher Seebeck made a motion that they would
give a one time 50 % reduction in the bill 2"d by Peter all in favor.

Tel: (781) 383-0057 4 Fax: (781) 383-2906 4 www.cohassetwater.org
Ross Sherbrooke of 311 Jerusalem Road came in to request an abatement of his
May 2, 2011 water bill. This is for his boathouse account. Mr. Sherbrooke
reported that the service line to the boathouse had been abandoned and a new
line has been put in from the main house out to the boathouse. Mr. Sherbrooke
reported that T.L. laria had done the work and he was under the assumption that
the line had been disconnected from the water main. Brenda Douglas reported
that she spoke with Mr. laria and he stated that he had not removed from the
main. The normal procedure would be to cut and cap the line from the main.
Unfortunately in this case the road has just been paved and it would not be
allowed to be dug up at this time. A motion was made by Christopher Seebeck
to abate the $187.00 Capital Recovery Charge and remove the account from the
billing system, he also stated that a bill in the amount of$100.00 would be sent to
Mr. Sherbrooke for the inspection fee. This was seconded by Peter DeCaprio all
in favor.
Peter Laugelle and David Drake presented the board with plans for 82
Whitehead. It was agreed to put a 50" sleeve on the 2" line and we would be
given an easement for the entire property line. Tom Keeffe suggested an 8"
sleeve and fill with sand. Tom asked that he be given a day or so to think about
the size of the sleeve before committing. Tom also suggested to have valves on
both sides of the connecting pipe. Christopher Seebeck made a motion to add a
sleeve to be able to handle an 8" pipe, and an easement be given on the
property with the condition that Tom Keefe be give 48 hours to review. This was
seconded by Peter DeCaprio, all in favor.
Mr. John Gallagher of 21 Ledgewood Drive approached the board with his on
replacing his service line. He stated that he has plenty of pressure but not
enough volume for his home. He requested at the time of his replacement that
the board replace from the main to the shutoff. After a brief discussion the
commission agreed as long as it is after July 1, 2011.
Brian Kearney of 33 Old Pasture Road went in front of the board to discuss a
letter that he received from Project Manager Norman Lavigne. The letter detailed
that on April 6, 2011 the Water Departments meter reader observed that the
water meter had been removed from the service line and that a spigot had been
illegally attached to the service line with a water meter. The letter stated a
$5,000 penalty was being assessed for theft of water as well as an $800.00 for a
meter replacement. Mr. Kearney stated that he meant no deceit on his part. The
house had been completely gutted and he had plumbers as well as contractors
on site. They had made them aware that there was a water issue and they did
this so that the place did not flood. After a lengthy discussion, a motion was
made by Christopher Seebeck to waive $5000 fine but hold Mr. Kearney
responsible for the $800.00 meter replacement fee. This was seconded by Peter
DeCaprio all in favor.
Brenda Douglas then presented the board with the following abatement request:
Mrs. Kari O'Donnell of 11 Beach Street requested her entire usage on her May 2,
2011 bill be waived due to the fact that the 3900 cubic feet was generated from
12/29/10-1/5/11. During this time period they were away and the dog sitter found
that a pipe had burst on the 3rd floor flooding the entire home. She reported in
her abatement request form that $1 million dollars in damage had been
assessed. The home was uninhabitable and they were forced to find alternate
housing. The commission agreed to abate 1100 cubic feet which will bring it
back to what her normal consumption would be during that time period.
Mr. John Joyce of 225 Sohier Street requested that the $187.00 Capital
Recovery Charge be abated. His reason was that the meter was installed on
3/24/11 and the billing period ended 3/31/11. He felt that he should not be
charged for such a short time period. Brenda Douglas explained the reason his
account was put up was the fact that his service line was tapped and inspected
on 2/22/11. This being the case he as been on the system long enough to
charged the Capital Recovery Charge. All three Commissioners were in
agreement to deny the abatement.
Project Progress
Bear Hill Tank - Dan Bilezikian is looking for signature/sign off on the
modifications to the lease. There was discussion that the utilities are now going
to have to go underground.
Avalon Bay— No pictures were taken during the first phase of restraints. The
Commission wants confirmation from Brendan Stone that he either saw the
restraints or he has pictures. If neither can be provided then they will need to
excavate so that pictures can be taken. Norman Lavigne explained that when
Brendan got to the site for the first restraint his camera died and Avalon stated
they had pictures. The commission stated that if they do not have definitive
pictures then Brendan must sign something attesting that it was done properly.
Lee Jenkins then spoke about Avalon and how they wanted to downsize the
meters to be all 1". Peter DeCaprio stated that he would call whoever is in
charge stating that the meter applications will stay as applied for. Brenda
Douglas then stated that two 1" meters have been installed and an appointment
has been set up for next week for two more. Brenda explained that once she is
given the address no meter will be put in unless it matches the application. By
pass pipe was installed they are not doing the temporary pump station. Tom has
still not been give specific specs on the pump station. Tom's concerns are that
they may not have the minimum fire flow. Peter DeCaprio commented that he
would like to see Avalon do some form of leak detection on the line on 3A.
American Water— Plant/Distribution Reports
Project Manager Norman Lavigne reported that the Annual Statistical Report
(ASR) has been completed and was submitted on May 26th. He reported that
the unaccounted for water was calculated at 12% for 2010. Norman made a
suggestion that a leak detection survey be scheduled for the fall. Norm is
awaiting quotes from vendors. On the ASR the residential gallons per capita day
for 2010 is 71. Currently our WMP Permit indicates this value must remain less
than 80 or DEP may require to implement more stringent restriction on
nonessential outside water use. If it exceeds 80 a program must be implemented
to make retrofit devices available to customers at cost. Also the DEP has
indicated that this value will most likely be reduced to 60 with the renewal of our
WMP Permit. The current permit had expired on August 31, 2010 but has since
been administratively extended until August 31, 2013.
Norm then reported that the fishway flows are at minimum flow of 2.2 CFS is
consistently maintained. The fishway weir gates at both Aaron River Reservoir
Dam and Bound Brook Control Structure are at their highest elevation in order to
maintain maximum possible water reserves. Norm has received comments from
the DCR on 2010 data submission. The report was positive and indicated
significant progress towards validation of SCADA data points. Norman continues
to proactively work with DCR and is supplying them with monthly updates.
These monthly updates will continue until validation of SCADA is complete.
Norm reported that no herring have been observed to date, but other area
streams have seen record numbers. Norm also told the Commission that he had
arranged a class for the staff from South River Environmental. They came to the
office and gave a call on how to distinguish a herring from other fisheries.
A sanitary survey by MA DEP was completed on May17, 2011. Officials toured
all Water Department facilities including Aaron River Reservoir Dam, Bound
Brook Control Structure, Whitney Crossing Pump Station and Ellms Meadow and
the Water Treatment facility including the garage, emergency generator, and
sludge lagoons. Norm reported that the DEP questions distribution staffing. This
brought on a lengthy discussion with the Commission and Norm. The
Commission was very unhappy that Norm had brought back Thomas Fennessey
to full time. They questioned that he did not have the right to do so without their
approval. They stated at a previous meeting that they would have Tom stay on
part time and pay the overtime. This is when Norm explained that the overtime
hours had been calculated incorrectly and what he had reported at the previous
meeting was incorrect. Previously he had reported them to be under the 650
hour cap when in fact they are already 180 hours over. This figures at a cost to
the Commission of$7,045.20.
Norm then reported that the CCR was ready. He informed the Commission that
the CCR must be mailed to DEP by July 1, 2011. The cost associated with the
mailing is as follows: Postage $1,202.06, estimated printing cost based on last
years cost $840.00.
Norm then explained that the disinfection byproducts came back not very good.
The 2"d quarter monitoring was completed in May. THM quarterly average is
84.50 ppb, and the annual THM running average is 84.15. The raw TOC is
slightly higher this year and TOC removal efficiency was down for May. The
Commission wanted to know why this was happening and Norm was unable to
answer definitely as he has not been able to investigate yet. Norm will speak
with the Treatment staff and get back to the Commission. A possible reason may
be the fact that there is new equipment and the staff may not be completely
comfortable with it yet. One of the new pieces of equipment is the UV analyzer
Norm will make sure that it is being used as directed. Norm also suggested that
it could be caused due to the fact that the samples are taken in the am. Peter
DeCaprio then suggested that the testing not only be in the am but later in the
afternoon as well. Tom Keeffe stated that he had seen in the past when tested e
times on one day that the results are up and down. The Commission suggested
doing additional testing throughout the year not just quarterly.
Some administrative items were discussed. The maintenance cap is up to
$28,565.15 year to date. Linden Ponds April bill was $16,352.82. The May
invoice has yet to be generated since no meter data has been available.
There was a very lengthy conversation regarding staffing of the facility. Chris
stated that his issue with the contract and that he was not trying to direct his
frustration at Norm directly but at American Water. He believes that some of the
staffing can be alleviated and credits can be given back. Commissioner
DeCaprio expressed the same concerns and made it perfectly clear that he was
not interested in having American Water back after the contract was over at the
end of June 2012.
Budget
Brenda Douglas presented her finding in working with Finance Director John
Stanbrook, see report. There was a discussion and breakdown of the current
accounting at present the general fund is -$16,953.41. Town hall services are in
excess of $349.35 which Steve Lombard said he will assume. Special Town
Meeting appropriation comes in very under budget.
Brenda presented the board with an e-mail from John Stanbrook with a
suggestion to do the following. Take the debt service surplus of$65,124.50 and
roll it into general expenses. In order to do this it would need to be voted on at
tonight's meeting so that Brenda can let John know and he can bring it in front of
the Selectmen first then the Advisory Board. If both boards approve, the monies
can be transferred before year end to help with the shortfall.
A motion was made by Peter DeCaprio to approve the debt service surplus
transferred up into the general expenses. The motion was seconded by Leonora
Jenkins all in favor 3-0.

A sanitary survey by MA DEP was completed o Mom. 7, 2011., Officials toured
all Water Department facilities including Aaron River Reservoir Dam, Bound
Brook Control Structure, Whitney Crossing Pump Station and Ellms Meadow and
the Water Treatment facility including the garage emergency generator, and
sludge lagoons. Norm reported that the DEP q estion�--"distribution staffing. This
brought on a lengthy discussion with the Commission and Norm. The
Commission was very unhappy that Norm had brought back Thomas Fennessey
to full time. They questioned that he did not have the right to do so without their
approval. They stated at a previous meeting that they would have Tom stay on
part time and pay the overtime. This is when Norm explained that the overtime
hours had been calculated incorrectly and what he had reported at the previous
meeting was incorrect. Previously he had reported them to be under the 650
hour cap when in fact they are already 180 hours over. This figures at-a-cost to
the Commission Vf$7,045.20.
Norm then reported that the CCR was ready. He informed the Commission that
the CCR must be mailed to DEP by July 1, 2011. The cost associated with the
mailing is as follows: Postage $1,202.06, estimated printing cost based on last
years cost $840.00.
Norm then explained that theoisinfection byproducts came-back not very good.
The 2"d quarter monitoring was completed in May. THM quarterly average is
84.50 ppb, and the annual THM running average is 84.15. The raw TOC is
slightly higher this year and TOC removal efficiency was down for May. The'
Commission wanted to know why this was happening and Norm was unable to
answer definitely as he has not been able to investigate yet. Norm will speak
with the Treatment staff and get back to the Commission. A possible reason may
be the fact that there is new equipment and the staff may not be completely
comfortable with it yet. One of the new pieces of equipment is the UV analyzer+- C
Norm will make sure that it is being used as directed. Norm also suggested that
Q ,5 A-could be-caused due to the fact-that the samples are taken in the am: Peter / M Caps
DeCaprio then suggested that the testing not only be in the "art but later in the " 'f"
dr afternoon as well. Tom Keeffe stated that he had seen in the past when tested a >>
times on one day that the results are up and down. The Commission suggeste
:)
doing additional testing throughout the year not just quarterly.
Some administrative items were discussed The maintenance cap is up to
$28,565.15 year to date. Linden Ponds April bill was $16,352.82. The May
invoice has yet to be generated since no meter data has been available.
There was a very lengthy conversation regarding staffing of the facility. Chris
stated to his issue with the contract and that he was not trying to direct his
frustration at Norm directly but at American Water. He believes that some of the
staffing can be alleviated and credits;can be given back. Commissioner
DeCaprio expressed the same concerns and made it perfectly clear that he was
not interested in having American Water back after the contract was over at the
end of June 2012.
Budget
Brenda Douglas presented her finding in working with Finance Director John
Stanbrook, see report. There was a discussion and breakdown of the current
accounting at present the general fund is -$16,953.41. Town hall services are in
excess of$349.35 which Steve Lombard said he will assume. Special Town
Meeting appropriation comes in very under budget.
Brenda presented the board with an e-mail from John Stanbrook with a
suggestion to do the following. Take the debt service surplus of$65,124.50 and
roll it into general expenses. In order to do this it would need to be voted on at
tonight's meeting so that Brenda can let John know and he can bring it in front of
the Selectmen first then the Advisory Board. If both boards approve, the monies
can be transferred before year end to help with the shortfall.
A motion was made by Peter DeCaprio to approve the debt service surplus
transferred up into the general expenses. The motion was seconded by Leonora
Jenkins all in favor 3-0.
Motion made to adjourn at 11:15pm
