Water-Sewer manager Eric Carty sent out another request for residents to avoid flushing wipes and rags, as it is causing clogging at the town’s sewer pump stations. According to Carty, there is no such thing as a flushable wipe (despite manufacturers’ claims).

Those items should be disposed of in the trash.
The Planning Board meets tonight at 7, and among the items on the agenda is a continued public hearing on the plan for a solar array on the former Liberty Mutual property off Frankland Road. The meeting is accessible via Zoom or HCAM.
