YARMOUTH – Yarmouth voters will soon be able to make their voices heard at Special Town Meeting.
Articles on the current draft warrant include funds for an odor control system at the wastewater treatment facility, according to Town Administrator Robert Whritenour.
“It is design and replacement. There was an initial odor control system when the plant was built that has ceded its useful life and is no longer operable,” Whritenour told selectmen at their most recent meeting where they went over the draft articles.
Other articles include whether to acquire 9.6 acres of land on Higgins Crowell Road for water conservation, as well as whether to appropriate $9,555.68 from the national opioid settlement with drug manufacturers.
The amount is part of the first year of funding expected to roll out from the settlement, which will be used locally for substance abuse prevention through the Yarmouth Substance Awareness Committee.
The last day to register to vote for the special town meeting is November 5.
The meeting will take place at 6pm on November 15 at 6 pm at the Mattacheese Middle School.
