Montpelier Filter Payment Approved for $23,771.58
From the Montpelier Board of Works and Safety meeting on November 12, 2026
Montpelier approved a $23,771.58 payment on its water-filter project Nov. 12 as the city prepared for a replacement expected around March or April, weather permitting.
Brad Neff said Engineer Miller had submitted payment application No. 4 for the work. Miller was not at the meeting. The Board of Works voted to approve the city's project payment.
Neff described the project's funding as a $750,000 grant and roughly $150,000 to $160,000 in city costs. He called it close to a $1 million project overall.
The work follows the city's April 15 approval of a $902,676 water infrastructure upgrade. At the Nov. 12 meeting, utilities staff member Chase Perry said the new filter should be built by Thanksgiving, with replacement following in the spring if weather allows.
