An update on the roof project was given. Manufacturer's still need to inspect portions of the roof for warranty certifications. Final payments will not be made until this takes place. Expected completion in Oct. 9^th. JS gave an update on the secondary disinfection system. The Granfield's (neighbor) water supply runs through the project area and although the pipe was not disturbed or even found, a leak was discovered, and it is probable it comes from the Granfield's water source. The Town and the School bear no responsibility to repair this, it is significant enough that it cannot be ignored and must be addressed in order to continue. The Town has agreed to cover any additional costs with identifying and fixing the Granfields leak.
