"Several streets will be torn up and repaved over the next five years after Town Council approved the latest installment of the town’s water main maintenance plan.
Director of Public Works Robert “Brutus” Cantoreggi on Jan. 30 gave a presentation to councilors on the new five-year plan, which starts in 2020.
