The action moves forward funding for a facility intended to remove PFAS from the Town’s drinking water system, but it does not yet represent final loan approval. Staff said the water fund could cover a potential shortfall if project costs rise. The tentative budget is $1.6 million higher than the prior year, primarily because of the Bright Star PFAS project; a public hearing and final budget adoption were scheduled for June 23, 2026.
