3 issues in water utilities
Electric Vehicle Charging Fees
The city is adding two EV charging spaces at the Brewster Street Garage and, for the first time, charging $0.40 per kilowatt-hour — the Brewster chargers had been free under a now-exhausted state grant.
Water Department Cybersecurity
The state requires a cybersecurity vulnerability scan of the water system by January 1, 2027; a grant covers the roughly $40,000 cost.
PFAS Water Treatment Progress
The carbon filter media at Well #32 on Duck Pond Road has hit its maximum absorption capacity and can no longer effectively capture contaminants, including PFOS. The council approved an emergency purchase of up to $140,800 to replace it, keeping city drinking water safe.
