By Sabrina DammsiBerkshires Staff

The police station has had to deal with toilet backups; the tiles in the bathroom next dispatch have asbestos. 
DALTON, Mass. — Cost estimates have come in to address some of the Police Department's building issues. 
 
The town needs to address safety issues within the police station, including plumbing, mold, ventilation, mice, water damage, heating, and cell damage.
 
During the Select Board meeting on Monday,
 
Building and Grounds Superintendent Jeff Burch informed the Select Board on Monday that the floor tiles, mastic, and the right exterior wall in the bathroom next to the police dispatch office are contaminated with asbestos. The flooring in the dispatch office tested negative. 
 
The Select Board approved using $4,925 of the American Rescue Plan Act funding to address this. 
 
It also approved utilizing ARPA funds up to $82,000 for the design and engineering of the police station's sanitary plumbing upgrade and ventilation system installation. 
 
Burch received quotes from Hill Engineering of $35,000 for the plumbing upgrade and $47,000 for the ventilation system. He is still seeking one more engineering quote at a potentially lower price.
