Water District Commission · Meeting of June 10, 2026

GRAFTON — The Board of Water Commissioners changed its superintendent's title to manager. Dave's new title took effect immediately after a voice vote, with members congratulating him. Commissioners also denied a Magill Drive homeowner's request to repeal an irrigation warning and accepted a treasurer's report showing $12,442,389 in cash.

The report put 11-month revenue at $4,225,059, with usage down even as rates rose. Dave told the board that peat found at a PFAS plant site would add cost not yet priced, and that the Worcester Street well pump was pulled again. Dave asked the board to approve an operator posting at a $24.50 starting rate, and the board took no recorded vote on it and held the updated rules and regulations for next month.
