The contractor will fix a sewer pipe “belly” on the first floor over April break, while drainage problems and an infield replacement will keep the softball field from being used this year.
Starting last summer, toilets in the first floor bathrooms nearest to the main entrance at Cole Middle School have experienced backups, requiring the sewer pipe be cleared. According to building officials, work to repair that problem will take place over April break. Issues with the softball field behind the new building are not so quickly resolved, they said.

Homeowners want increased seismic monitoring; the case will return before a judge on
Thursday, April 28.
The lawyer for two homeowners who filed suit against the town and Gilbane Construction because they say their houses have been damaged as a result of the construction of the new Cole Middle School filed a motion for an injunction to halt the project Wednesday. The action comes just as the new school prepares to open and work on the third phase of the project - demolition of the old Cole and construction of a parking lot and playing fields - is slated to begin.
