Groton Water Pollution Control Authority - 7/14/26

The Groton Water Pollution Control Authority held a meeting on July 14, 2026, where key updates were provided regarding personnel changes and capital projects. The Public Works Director announced the permanent appointment of the deputy director and the hiring of a new civil engineer position to support capital projects. A budget of $175,000 was approved and is now in effect for replacing an obsolete generator at the Trails Corner pump station, with consultant assessments underway. The facility superintendent reported on operational metrics and ongoing maintenance projects, including repairs to the secondary clarifier and generator load testing. Additionally, the authority discussed the use of ARPA funds and pending ordinance revisions requiring legal follow-up. The group voted to cancel the August meeting due to scheduling conflicts and planned to reconvene in September.
