COMMENTS FROM THE FLOOR
Richard Corsie called the town clerk today and expressed his concern that the water in his new house on Carrington Road was terrible, and would like to know when Carrington Road is going to get water and was sorry that he could not attend this evenings meeting.
The home owners on Carrington road want to know why they are not in the water district. In order for the town to apply for a grant and form a water district they need so many houses in a limited square footage. The Town of Ashland has to have an existing water district in order to expand the district. The sewer goes to bid in June, then award contract 4 to 6 weeks to start, 2 years to finish.
Public Hearing with all having been heard was closed.
