The town’s water-treatment project is in planning and design; staff recommended a second test-well site due to wetland permitting delays. The board heard the project is funded with a $5,000,000 grant and an approximately $4,400,000 hardship loan from the state environmental funding authority.

Staff told the board it has negotiated credits and change items totaling $343,541 on the Peru Water Plant Filter Media Project; the board was informed these costs are within the project's contingency and require no contract-price increase or formal SRF modification.
