(From 2003 Reclamation Committee Report)

This has been an ongoing process for about a year. The discussion, as of now, is on Treatment Plants and where to build them. Two suggestions: (1) the DPW yard and (2) the Berry site. The Berry site will not be available until the new owners begin building and that date has not been established. Right now, it does not seem to be in the near future. There is a need for a third location and that is a problem. The Hillview was one suggestion but Warren Pearce of the NR Community Planning Committee said the soil there was no good for this type of thing.

Two Phases to Sewer coming to NR:
(1) Commercial and (2) Residential

Commercial would be first priority because it would attract new businesses on Main Street and consequently, increase the town's revenue. Martins Pond should be the first residential area, due to the pond, but the high school area and Town Center are also being looked at.

Proposals will be presented to the NR Selectman, December 11th and then to the NR Businessman's Association. Mike feels confident that NR will get a sewer system in time. Perhaps 3 - 4 years.
