The Millis Select Board unanimously authorized the town administrator to sign an agreement with Comtrack Corp. for a network addition to the Well Number 3 SCADA system and security upgrades tied to the town’s PFAS treatment work. The contract amount is not to exceed $27,595.46 and will be paid from federal ARPA grant funds earmarked for the project.

Public Works (Jim McKay) reported that Well 3 construction has broken ground behind the Wayland property off Ridge Street. McKay said the project is a few months behind schedule but is progressing; he offered to provide photo updates to the board. McKay noted substantial tree removal on the town property where the facility is sited and thanked neighbors for cooperation.

During remarks acknowledging the town’s PFAS efforts, a member of the public (a community group attendee) praised Jim McKay and town staff for Millis’s proactive PFAS remediation work and said Millis was noted positively at a regional conference.

A motion authorizing the town administrator to sign the Comtrack agreement was moved and seconded; the board recorded a unanimous vote in favor. Town staff noted the fiber run is an add‑on to the existing Well 3 project (no separate pole work cost), and that ARPA and project grant documentation will require back‑up accounting for the funds spent.
