The Board of Health would
like to inform residents that it has
no mandatory requirements for

if it is feasible to connect to a
sanitary sewer. When existing systems
within phases 4 and 5 fail, each site
will be evaluated to determine the
most feasible way correct the failure.
There
is no change to the Board of Health
policy requiring connection in phase
1, 2, and 3. Any questions concerning
the Board of Health regulations should
be directed to the Board of Health,
508-497-9725 Any questions
concerning sewer regulations should be
directed to the Sewer Department.,
