Council approves sewer OT

Oh yay, I don't have to hound those poor fellas in the sewer dept. anymore (at least about the PI sewer system).

It appears that going down to Provincetown has convinced them that they need some kind of (probably expensive) system that shows much more definitively where the problems are when vacuum is lost.

Oh wait - I guess I'm still going to have to hound a bit because someone told me a while back that they had the option of installing such a system when they put the sewer in.

More money spent on an already overspent system.

More relevant - DPS Director Brendan O'Regan said P-Town spends a lot more money on maintenance than does Newburyport. Like $100,000 a year.

But gee whiz, Councillor Barry Connell just will not let trying to get money out of either AIRVAC, the manufacturer, or CDM, the designer, go.

The very good news is, they are already working on replacing some doo-dad in, and are pumping out, the pits for the summer season.
