permit was expected to be issued in the middle of spring of FY11. Howeversweeping concerns for municipal cost burden (nationwide) resulted in delay inthe new permit being issued. The most current information is that EPA will notbe issuing the new NPDES Permit until sometime late in FY12.With continued pressure exerted by funding limitations, the DPW’s abilityto provide the same service with less is becoming more and more challenging.The Department continues to monitor and evaluate the need to alter or limitsome services being provided in order to meet the necessary financial constraintsof the town. We have established a workforce and funding levels sufficientto provide a modest level of service and maintenance to the Town. Thechallenge ahead is to continue to find new ways to become more efficient withthe continuous funding pressures and reductions we will be facing.The Department looks forward to meeting these challenges in the sameway past challenges have been met, through creativity, teamwork, hard dedicatedefforts of its’ workforce, and the cooperation of all town officials. In thatspirit, I express my sincere appreciation for the efforts and support of the DPWfield employees, engineers and management staff; the Board of Selectmen, WarrantCommittee, Personnel Board, other Town Departments, Town Meeting;and the residents of Milton.Respectfully submitted,Joseph W.
