PUTNAM --- Town officials are currently interviewing nine candidates for the post of executive director of the Water Pollution Control Authority, according to Town Administrator Douglas M. Cutler.
William W. Trayner Sr., the town's current director, resigned in January and his last day is March 31. Trayner began March 4, 1991, at the Putnam WPCA and became director in 1996. Cutler said it is unlikely that a new director could be hired in time to overlap with Trayner.
A special need for Putnam is that it has one director for both water and sewer. "It's a unique responsibility for wastewater treatment AND water," Cutler said.
The new director will have plenty on the plate. The town is currently working on a small water treatment plant renovation and is out for bids on a complete upgrade of the wastewater treatment plant. In addition, the town has dug a new well in the southwest end of town and is working on getting the permitting for that well.
