3.  Brian Goetz of Portsmouth Water and Sewer Dept. arrives.  Wright Pierce will be doing a study of water blending between Rye and Portsmouth to determine effects of mixing water of different pH, hardness, total dissolved solids, and alkalinity.  Discussion of issues arising when Sagamore bridge was out and Rye supplied water to Portsmouth.  Discussion of existing Portsmouth water treatment plant and potential Rye water treatment plant.
