Easton Selects Woodard and Curran for $45,000 SCADA Services Contract
The Select Board approved a $45,000 contract with Woodard and Curran for SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) services. This contract covers both water and sewer systems, automating and monitoring all town functions. Easton has been an early adopter of SCADA technology for 20-30 years, allowing operators to remotely monitor and manage water and sewer operations via their phones. The combined contract reflects the integration of water and sewer systems under one SCADA service provider. The funding comes from the operating budgets of the respective enterprise funds.

Easton Water Commissioners Vote to Implement Level Three Water Restrictions Amid Drought Concerns
The Water Commissioners discussed the current state of water restrictions, noting they are on Level Two, allowing watering twice a week. This is triggered by stream flow in the Taunton River falling below a certain point for three consecutive days. They are currently near the threshold of 47 cubic feet per second. The board voted to move to Level Three restrictions immediately, a decision supported by the members due to ongoing dry conditions and conservation concerns. The current residential gallons per capita is 65, which is the threshold set by the DEP. The board also noted that the current water usage is sustainable with existing wells and infrastructure, and there are no immediate safety concerns regarding water supply. The decision to move to Level Three was made proactively to conserve the resource, with members expressing a desire to get ahead of potential critical shortages.
