Egremont Water Commission reported improved debt collection as outstanding balances fell to $1,300 from $33,000 over the past two to three years. Chair Mary Brazie led the meeting with in-person members Judi Goodman and Lucinda Fenn-Vermeulen; Licensed Operator/Clerk Taylor Thompson attended but left early due to illness, while MJ Marx and Cara Becker joined via Zoom. The commission discussed water shut-off procedures and payment policies, explaining the town's 90-day payment policy and willingness to work with customers on arrangements.
The recently completed water meter installation exceeded initial costs and left billing discrepancies requiring resolution; the asset management plan with Tighe & Bond is expected to close in December.
