BOS WEEKLY UPDATE – April 12, 2018
Streetlights: Two sub-topics here: First, outages can now be reported directly to National Grid. There is a link on the Town’s web site with the number to call. Be sure to have the pole number and location. Please let the DPW know as well in order that we can track repair progress which can be frustratingly slow. Secondly, efforts to take over the streetlights and convert them to LEDs continue. We are waiting for National Grid to review our audit of all streetlights in town as we work to finalize the purchase of them. Once this happens we can proceed with the switch to LEDs which will reduce our costs significantly. We will contract with a private vender to maintain the lights which will speed up repair time. We hope to have a sample light up this spring and complete the conversion by the end of the summer.
Comcast Cable Work: Comcast is scheduled to install new cabling to a couple of buildings on Central Street the week of April 16. This requires a new trench across School Street at the Central Street intersection which will close School Street at this intersection on Tuesday, April 17 from 8:30AM until 3:30PM. Parking and sidewalk access across from Town Hall will be limited during the construction period.
