The updated yard hydrant policy is intended to clarify what customers must handle and pay for when installing and maintaining hydrants on vacant parcels. The Board also advanced funding and planning for water, stormwater, and climate-resilience projects, including a possible Buckingham Pond grant. Proposed changes to the senior discount and water bill forgiveness policies were postponed to June, so no changes to those programs were adopted at this meeting.
