Groton's Sewer Commission lowered the high school's monthly sewer bill to $4,152.48 for the rest of fiscal 2027. Business Manager Lauren Quarry said the annual true-up showed the school was billed $87,997 last year against a correct $75,303, leaving a $12,693 credit. The commission approved the change by voice vote after questions about a 7 percent "difficulty factor" and a capital charge that came in at about $57,000 against $35,000 budgeted.
Members continued a water abatement request over an apparent 16,000-gallon leak and agreed to invite the applicant for a seven-chair salon at 777 Boston Road, who may owe a connection fee of roughly $10,000, to a meeting.
