In a meeting that was both quiet and quick, the fiscal year 2021 budgets for the Water Company and Wastewater Treatment Facility were approved at their annual Financial Town Meetings on Monday, July 6.
With every voter voting "yea," the $779,880 budget for the Water Company was approved, as was the $1,392, 531 budget for the Treatment plant.
The town's Deputy Financial Manager, Mona Helterline, said at the outset of the meeting that both budgets were relying on drawing from cash reserves, and that the Water Company budget also included a 12.5 percent user fee increase to help cover the costs of a $2.4 million water main replacement project scheduled for the fall.
