A. Nothing new on the Mill Development.

Joe wrote to Lane Simon for any leads. Joe will talk with Marc again for any others that may do the work
B. Postcards have gone out. Fortunately, we have good records in files and the website. The company did a survey of the lines and there was no lead. Do not know how long people have to do the information before they start knocking on doors.
C. Summer repairs are tight with Brian gone. Joe told Steve to spend the money on safety items.
D. Bartlett requested to disconnect. It is the white house on the corner of Park Street. They hired a contractor to dig holes between the well and the house. They couldn’t find the pipes to the well. Joe and Brian blew the mud out. They decided to stay on our system.
