Morano commented that many of these purchases appear to have few bidders due to the group
purchasing organizations the City utilizes to collectively obtain bids with other municipalities. He
also noted the 3.5% increase in water usage, some of which Shah attributed to ongoing
construction projects, including the replacement of over 4,000 feet of 12-inch watermain, which
requires flushing. Shah noted that approximately 2% of the increase is due to increased gallon
usage, and research is being conducted to determine whether the increase is from commercial
or residential users. He explained that the increase in chemicals needed for 2027 reflects this
increase in usage.

time, traffic on Town Road will be limited to one-way traffic, and the project should be completed
