ORLEANS — Finance Committee unanimously approved $50,000 warrant article for wastewater cost analysis. Chair David Abel and the nine-member committee voted to forward the article to the Select Board, framed as providing taxpayers with comprehensive information about the costs of the wastewater program. The analysis would address costs borne by both the Town and property owners for connections, engineering, and construction.
The committee revised the draft article to remove specific references to sewer phases, emphasizing that the analysis was intended to inform decision-makers and the public rather than re-engineer the program.
