ARTICLE 10, WATER MAINS <br /> To see if the Town will vote to install new water mains and replace or clean and line existing <br /> water mains in such accepted or unaccepted streets or other land as the Selectmen may <br /> determine, subject to the assessment of betterments or otherwise, and to take by eminent domain, <br /> purchase or otherwise acquire any fee, easement or other interest in land necessary therefor; <br /> appropriate money for such installation and land acquisition and determine whether the money <br /> shall be provided by the tax levy,by transfer from available funds, including any special water <br /> funds, or by borrowing, or by any combination of these methods; authorize the Selectmen to <br /> apply for, accept, expend and borrow in anticipation of federal and state aid for such projects; or <br /> act in any other manner in relation thereto. <br /> (Inserted by the Board of Selectmen) <br /> FUNDS REQUESTED: $315,000 Enterprise Funds <br /> DESCRIPTION: Funding is requested for phase seventeen of a twenty-one phase program <br /> for replacing or cleaning and lining cast iron water pipes to remove tubercular growth and <br /> improve water quality and flow. The Massachusetts Water Resource Authority and many <br /> public works and engineering professional associates recommend this process which <br /> consists of cleaning the tubercular growth from the inside of the old pipe, then lining with a <br /> coating of cement mortar. The mortar prevents tubercular growth from occurring in the <br /> future. This process also extends the life of the water main. The town has appropriated <br /> funds for this program each year since 1984. In FY2001 the funding is requested to clean <br /> and line 6,000 feet of water main in the Kendall Road area. <br /> ARTICLE 11 REHABILITATION OF CENTER POOL COMPLEXES <br /> To see if the Town will appropriate a sum of money to make improvements at the Town Pool <br /> Complex; determine whether the money shall be provided by the tax levy,by transfer from <br /> available funds, including the Recreation Enterprise Fund, or by any combination of these <br /> methods; or act in any other manner in relation thereto. <br /> (Inserted at the request of the Recreation Committee) <br /> FUNDS REQUESTED: $100,000 Enterprise Funds <br /> DESCRIPTION: This article requests funds to replace the four pool covers, to build two <br /> shade pavilions, to replace filter septums and make necessary repairs to the locker rooms. <br /> This request is part of a program plan prepared and approved by the Recreation Committee. <br /> 15 <br />
