May 29, 2019 marks the first day of a 100-day project to refurbish and rebuild components of the Town's E-One Ladder Truck.  A 75' Quint truck has been loaned to the Town by the firm refurbishing the E-1.  Earlier this year, Town Council approved the refurbishment and rebuilding of the Town's ladder truck in order to extend its usable life and provide maximum value to the citizens it serves.  The price of the project is $262,273.

Project Delay

The contractor is having difficulty obtaining the pump needed for the repair.  Estimate a 2 month delay in completion.  The contractor has provided the Town with a truck while under repair so there will be no impacts to the Town for this delay.
