West Bridgewater Water Commissioners raised the backflow testing fee to $90 and picked a new tester. The board approved a two-year, $90-per-device contract with Anchor Backflow Testing after the current provider said it could not staff the work, then raised the town's charge from $75 to match. The department tests 57 businesses with 70 RPZs and 57 double checks.
On the Norman Avenue treatment plant, the board rejected a $16,365 change order and approved two others, with one member vowing to "scrutinize every change order." Tater & Howard's James White also reported that Manley Street sampling will be redone after a manganese result came in three parts per billion over target; PFAS was not detected.
