funds are obtained the Town will acquire land consistent with Land Use and Master Open Space Plans. Backup Power to Fire and Police Stations – The Town provides backup power to all fire and police stations. Fire Station 1 – backup power provided by a grant; backup power to Fire Station 2 and Fire Station 3 and Police Station provided by local funds. 3

Requires new facility. Cost unknown at this time.

In-Progress – Carry Forward

The new station is under construction, and we are finalizing contract with generator specifications. Will be completed by next update. The Town currently has an emergency generator to provide power to the Front Office of the Public Works Building during emergencies. The building personnel are getting relocated to a new facility. That facility is slated to be built in the next few years. Still in the planning phase and this new facility will include a generator. We have 3 new lift stations with 1 at a new fire station that are not built yet and do not have generators. Carry forward until stations are complete with generators. Will be deleted on next update. One existing pump station located in the SFHA is incompatible with newer lines and repeatedly failing, causing the release of wastewater into the floodplain and requiring costly response and cleanup. Construction of this Regional Pump Station will reduce wastewater flowing to this station and two others that flow to it, alleviating capacity concerns, reducing future flood damages, and reducing infrastructure upgrades in flood prone areas.
