To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the Massachusetts Public Records Law, M.G.L. c.66, §10, I hereby request the following records:

* All maps of pipeline facilities (services, mains, regulators, etc.) provided by utility companies, including details regarding the age or dates of the installation of the pipeline, the material of the pipeline, and whether the pipeline is high pressure or low pressure. If you have these maps in shapefiles or in arc GIS, those formats are preferable.

* The most recent inventory of outstanding leaks on the distribution system within the boundaries of municipality, including the location of the leak, date the leak was identified/classified, the grade of the leak, whether the leak has been reclassified or designated for repair, and the date on which the inventory was compiled.

* The list or map of pipeline segments currently scheduled for replacement.

This information should be available to the municipality as required by Massachusetts General Laws, Chapter 164, Section 144 (https://malegislature.gov/Laws/GeneralLaws/PartI/TitleXXII/Chapter164/Section144).

I also request that, if appropriate, fees be waived as we believe this request is in the public interest, as suggested but not stipulated by the recommendations of the Massachusetts Supervisor of Public Records. The requested documents will be made available to the general public free of charge as part of the public information service at MuckRock.com, processed by a representative of the news media/press and is made in the process of news gathering and not for commercial usage.

I expect the request to be filled in an accessible format, including for screen readers, which provide text-to-speech for persons unable to read print. Files that are not accessible to screen readers include, for example, .pdf image files as well as physical documents.

In the event that fees cannot be waived, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.

Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 10 calendar days, as the statute requires.

Sincerely,

Beryl C.D. Lipton

From: Carlisle Town Clerk (MA)

Hi,

I have sent emails to all of the department heads that might have information regarding this request and as of last Friday, November 20, 2015, all have responded. No one has any of the information you are requesting.

I am contacting our Town Counsel to see what additional methods might be used to obtain this information and I would expect to hear by from them very soon. I hope to have the final response by Wednesday, November 25, 2015.

I appreciate your patience as I search for this information.
Best Regards,

Charlene M. Hinton

Town Clerk

Hello

I responded to this a couple of weeks ago, but I will repeat the information at this time. After multiple requests of all the department heads in town, I am sorry to say I have no information for the items you are asking about.

I have been told that there are websites for all pipelines in place and that you should access the website for the pipeline in question to get further information.

I regret that we do not have further information but after extensive questioning, I am not able to provide any more detailed information.
Best Regards,
Charlene M. Hinton

Town Clerk
