The Forrovis Sewer Commission held its meeting on June 16, 2026, with President Alvita and members Howeyak and Sousa present; Member Alps was absent. The meeting began with a roll call and a confirmation that no citizen input had been received. The commission then moved to approve the minutes from their previous meeting on March 4, 2026, which passed unanimously after a brief review. The primary agenda item discussed was the approval for new companies to haul septage to the city's treatment plant. Three new candidates were under consideration, with the first being Rodenheiser Septic of Holliston, Mass. A staff member named Paul confirmed that all three companies had already been granted temporary administrative approval to begin operations. This temporary status allows the commission time to evaluate the new haulers for any potential issues before granting full approval. Paul outlined the standard procedure, which includes the submission of a request letter, background checks, and an inspection of their trucks by the Health Department. The commission also learned that there are currently 15 to 20 different companies utilizing the facility for septage disposal.

40:03Yep. So we require them to submit a letter to us requesting. We review that.
40:09We do some background checks on the company. Then we issue them a copy of what's required, the septic hauler regulations.
40:21Their trucks need to be inspected by the health department to be able to travel over the city roads. If all that's completed, I'll issue them the temporary, and then it comes to the board. Okay. At the present time, approximately how many haulers do you think we got pulling into this place?
40:43Coming into here? In terms of the companies. Yeah, I would say we probably have 15 to 20 different companies right now. 15 to 20? Yes. Okay. Yes.
40:54Welcome to the June 16th meeting of the Forrovis Sewer Commission.
41:07The Open Meeting Law states, pursuant to the Open Meeting Law, any person may make an audio or video recording of this public meeting or may transmit the meeting to any medium. Attendees are therefore advised that such recordings or transmissions are being made whether perceived or unperceived by those present and are deemed acknowledged and permissible. Okay, so we've all
41:34been provided with the agenda and the notes to go. Whether the first item is citizen input, is there any citizen input, Mr.
41:47Paul? Nope, no citizen input, just a roll call so we can have it for the minutes as well. Member Howeyak? Here. Member Sousa? Here.
41:59President Alvita? Here. Thank you. Member Alves is not here. Okay.
42:05All right. With respect to citizen input, is there any? We did not receive any citizen input for this meeting. Okay. Second item on the agenda is minutes of the previous meeting as we normally do it at the start of each meeting. We're going to approve the minutes of the previous meeting on this particular case looking at the meeting held on March 4th, 2026. I've
42:32reviewed it. I have no problem with it. Does anybody have any questions or want to make any changes? If not, I'll entertain a motion to approve the minutes held on March 4th, 2026. I'm going to make a motion to approve the minutes of the meeting. Second. Okay. All in favor? Aye.
42:56That takes us to item number three, approval to haul septage.
43:02We have in front of us, I guess, requests to utilize the treatment plant down here to, in fact, discharge their night soil and so forth, and we have three new candidates.
43:18One of which I believe is taking over a business from a former owner of the business. So the first one is Rodenheiser septic of Holliston, Mass.
43:36We know, it's my understanding too, Paul, that all three have been given temporary approval to start utilizing the system, right? Yes. So I gave them temporary approval administratively to allow them to start dumping at our facility. Plus, it also gives us a little bit of time to evaluate to make sure there's no issues with them. Good point.
44:05All right. So the first company is Rodenheiser septic. They've never been here before?
44:16Not prior to this request though. So they're based out of Holliston, Mass. Yes. Yeah. Coming down a long way, I guess they're really trying to get their feet in the door around here. Yeah. Okay. We've spelled out the things, I guess, that's required of them. Yep.
