Bob Taylor of BenchMark of Torrington addressed the council on the high nitrate level of the town well at

Third Street

and

Freimuth Avenue

The council concurred with the recommendation. He also briefed the council that design progress continues with DEQ on the third lagoon cell.

John Peterson, WMPA representative for Lingle, updated the council on WMPA issues discussed at the annual meeting in Jackson in August. He reported good progress on the Dry Fork Station plant in Gillette.

TS Flock reported the chip and seal work for this year went well.

PC Elwood advised the parking of recreational vehicles on residential streets is now over for the summer season and owners will have to make other parking arrangements. A notice will be placed in the newspaper to this effect.
