REMINDER - ELECTRONIC WATER BILLING |
Last month, the Water Department announced the upcoming option for receiving water bills via email. More than 40% have indicated interest in this service, which begins with the May water bills. If you would like to receive your bill via email, please let Clerk/Treasurer Sue Ann Spens know which email address to use. We continue to work on an online payment option and will announce more details when known.
The first e-bills went out on May 1st. If you already signed up for e-billing, but did not receive a copy by mail, please contact Sue Ann so she can fix the problem and email you your water bill.

BACKFLOW-PREVENTION DEVICE (BFD) TESTING |
It will soon be time to test the BFD on your lawn and fire sprinkler systems. If you have participated in the Town’s testing program in the past and wish to continue, you don’t need to do anything – your system will remain on the Master List we provide to a local testing company. If you haven’t participated in the Town’s program in the past and want to be added to the Master List, please contact Clerk/Treasurer Sue Ann Spens. Testing costs have increased slightly this year to $46 per test. | |
The Council met on Tuesday April 5, 2022. This meeting was held one week early due to Spring Break. The Council discussed the following:
-
New Little Library: Council explained why they have to review these types of installations with the family that installed it, explaining the process for obtaining permission and the likely need to move it out of vehicle sightlines,
-
DreamGarden Contract: Council adopted Resolution No. 323 authorizing the mayor to execute a contract with DreamGarden to help maintain the Town’s greenspaces.
-
Greenspace Maintenance Plan: Council began discussing development of a plan for maintaining the Town’s greenspaces, especially those that have been enhanced in recent years with paths, plantings, and other amenities.
-
Maintenance Shed Update: Construction is expected to begin in sometime in late April, depending on the weather. Residents in the immediate area of the proposed work will be notified 48 hours in advance of work commencing. (Update: construction has begun; an email was sent to residents with a brief description of the project on 4/21/2022.)
The next Council meeting will be held on Tuesday May 10th and will be an in-person meeting. Check the agenda posted on mailstands and on the website for location.
