John Thompson (in the excavator), Jeff Miller, and Jeff’s son Steven Miller worked in the pouring rain last month to fill in an old, dry septic tank that Jeff discovered right beside the Town Hall while digging a trench by hand. Jeff was preparing the site for the new generator that will power the Town Hall (and the Emergency Operations Center, which convenes in the Town Hall meeting room during emergencies) when the power goes out.
