What was discussed
Henchman Street petitions. Discussion focused on whether one petition could cover both sections of pipe. DPW said they were separate lengths, so the two were approved together.
Arlington Street petition. One online participant spoke on the request and had nothing further to add.
Agenda
Three requests ask the city to extend sewer service. Two would extend the combined sewer main on Henchman St., at the petitioner's expense.
