• The price of the two front end tires will run about $825. The board approved the purchase of the two new tires and will try to have them installed as soon as possible.
• While checking over the pumper, it was discovered that the truck had a different type of pump on it. It was decided to have a pump company look at the pump and do a flow test on the pump. Flow tests should be conducted every two years, the Bath pumper hasn't had a test done in some years. While the company is checking out the pumper, it was decided to have them check the two trucks in Groton as well.
• The only other problem discovered on the Bath pumper was that the window wipers didn't work. The motors are both shot and the switches are not working either.

The problem is that that type of wiper motors are obsolete and can't be purchased any more. The mechanics will continue to look for a used motor or another solution.
