Present:

• Don Schneyer, Chair
• Peter Socha
• Tony Campetti, Supervisor Sewer Dept.
• Michael Buffoni, Supervisor, Water Dept.
• Michael Canales, Town Administrator

1. March 1 minutes approved as written
2. The Commission received a thank-you note, and the Chair wanted to say that it was appreciated
3. Chair also mentioned that the joint meeting with SB went well
4. In addition, Chair mentioned that if and when Pat Sheehan has plans to develop 37 Interlaken, he should meet with Water and Sewer Commission
5. Canales said there would be a Warrant item at Town Meeting for funds to replace Tuckerman Bridge
6. The Pump Station is on hold. Evidently Town is waiting for a time more favorable to bids and supplies. (Last round of bids, cost jumped from an estimated $700,000 to over one million)
7. Town was planning to use American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds for pump station; however that would preclude using the engineer Campetti has worked with and prefers, so using Water and Sewer funds instead. In this bidding process cost went up from the anticipated $700,000 to over one million. “See what happens with rebid”
   1. Socha asked if the $99,000 out of ARPA earmarked for Water and Sewer could remain earmarked for Water and Sewer in anticipation of the costs for Phase 4 of Inflow and Infiltration (I&I)?
   2. Canales said he would bring to SB for approval; Buffoni said it may already be earmarked for Water and Sewer.
8. Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) requires new ordinance with respect to residential backflow. As many as 60 homes including 35 at Pine Woods might be impacted.
9. Buffoni would like to replace 4000 feet of old water pipe
10. Stockbridge Bowl Stewardship Commission report: testing for herbicides, no dredging, limited harvesting, and one harvester still being repaired
11. Campetti — flow high due to rains. Phase 3 of I&I will use ARPA funds and get it underway
