CUSTOMER & PUBLIC CONCERNS:
Mr. Elliott and Mrs. Hogan met with the Town of Littleton to discuss the street light issue at the intersection of Main Street, Meadow Street and West Main Street. We discussed who is responsible for each part of the project, the town owns the bases and conduit and LWL will cover the cost of the poles & wire. Eric Oliver requested that we obtain a quote for a contractor to dig out the bases, as they no longer have the staff to complete this work.
A follow-up meeting will be held in two weeks.
OPERATIONS MANAGER:
Mr. Elliott provided an update on the current list of water & electric projects:
Two Bodies (St. Johnsbury Road) – Poles and anchors have been set by the LWL team. Project is going well but will progress outside of revenue generating projects.

The meeting with Dis~Tran is scheduled for June 17th, tomorrow to review the order for completeness and to discuss payment terms.
