Kleiber also reported on PFAS testing, which will be reduced to an annual requirement, instead of biannual, which will save on testing costs. The Committee briefly discussed the old Sewer Department pickup truck since a new one was purchased. They discussed moving the old Sewer truck to the Park Department and possibly selling the old Park Department truck. This will need to be added to the Council meeting agenda for further discussion. Reilly also asked about a sewer cleaning schedule and asked how many of the sewer lines get cleaned each year. Kleiber reported that 1/3 get done each year and he has a schedule that he works according to. Street Department – Reilly asked about who paints the Judgement Street lines and also asked about painting lines on Friendship Street because it’s difficult to see in the dark.

This will be on the Council meeting agenda for approval. Public Works Department Computer – The Committee discussed the existing Street Department computer being too old to update to Windows 11, which is a security risk.
