Gardner Public Service Committee Meeting Nov 5 2026

The Gardner Public Service Committee met November 5, 2026. The committee approved several water and sewer account adjustments: a 30% reduction with no interest and an extended payment period for 15 Robillard Street; sewer-related abatements for 253 Betty Spring Road and 59 Foster Court; and a three-month, no-interest payment plan for 514 Pearl Street. The committee also discussed a request for funding to remove an underground storage tank, which must go to Finance; no funding decision was reported. DPW said an aging 1988 salt truck is beyond repair and will be taken out of service, and cited a $17,000 repair estimate for its tree bucket truck. An emergency tree-work contract is available, but the department said it lacks funds to pay for outside work.
