Attention:
Dear Supervisor Smith and Board Members:
In an attempt to wrap up the conversations of the past few days
regarding the ends of pipe at the Rockingham Farms Drainage project, it
should be understood that the Town had previously investigated the
necessity for having bars and/or grates at the end of the pipe during the
design phase.
As you recall, the Town's insurance company looked into the matter, and
reported back to the Town that grates and/or bars could, in themselves,
add to the potential of having a problem, and advised against placing
them. They did advise that the Town should take all measures which
they are able to take to avoid an unfortunate incident such as fencing
and/or appropriate signage.
It should be noted that these measures have been included in the bid
documents, and are presently being built. -
If there are any questions regarding the above, please do not hesitate to
contact this office.
Very truly yours,

RE: Rockingham Farms Drainage Project
Dear Mrs. Smith:
This letter will confirm our telephone conversation of 03/19/97
wherein we discussed the drainage culvert at Rockingham Farm.
Please be advised that the Underwriter at the Town's insurance
carrier advised me that they do not recommend installing any type
of a grate over the drainage culvert. Instead of reducing the
Town's exposure, the installation of such a grate may increase the
Town's exposure by creating what is known in our industry as an
attractive nuisance. Their suggestion is to proceed with any and
all safety precautions that society would consider prudent.
We suggest warning signs located around the site area indicating
that no trespassing is allowed and that no one should enter the
culvert under any conditions.
I trust this letter clarifies your insurance carriers' position on
this matter. If I can be of any further assistance, please don't
he~ate to contact me.

Re: Combined Sanitary Sewer and Water Trench
Enclosed please find a copy of a proposed combined sanitary sewer and
water trench in both dry soil conditions and wet soil conditions.
Please review the above and advise me of your comments.
As you know, the Town is considering extension of central sewer and
water facilities, some of which are located on the same streets.
Coordination of the utilities in the same trench could result in a
considerable cost savings for the Town.
Please notify me of any comments and/or concerns.
