Reviewed and signed Warrant #24.
Had long discussion on the fuel tank leak at the Town House.
Downeast Energy was called yesterday morning because there was no heat. The service man came out, discovered that there was a hole in the tank and the fuel had all leaked out (estimate - 100 to 130 gallons) on the ground. DEP was called. Chris worked with them today to get it cleaned up. Meader’s Construction did the work. Two loads of contaminated soil were taken to Scarborough. Downeast came back today and installed a temporary tank in front of the building. We think we should leave the temporary tank where it is, until a decision is made about a new heating system. Dodi will apprise the Town House Committee of the situation.
Mail was reviewed and dispersed.
