From:
Hopkinton Board of Selectmen
To: Residents of Hopkinton
The
Board of Selectmen (BoS) and the Department of
Public Works (DPW) continues to make progress
towards bidding and constructing a Wastewater
Treatment Facility (WWTF) at the
Town-owned Fruit Street
property. The
WWTF has been approved by recent Town Meeting
votes and will be funded by the users in Phase VI
per those votes.
The facility is currently designed to
handle 100,000 gpd of sewer flow.
There
are appeals pending from the Conservation
Commission’s (ConCom) affirmative decision as
well as the Department of Environmental
Protection’s (DEP) permitting process.
The Board of Selectmen will continue to
support the DPW in the appeals process and take
all necessary actions to facilitate a timely
resolution. The
Board of Selectman has written two letters to the
DEP expressing our support to move the permitting
process forward and construct the WWTF as
designed. The
Board of Selectman will also engage the courts as
advised by legal counsel.
The
BoS will continue to work with the DPW to address
the community’s need for wastewater capacity in
particular to support desired commercial growth.
Your patience and support while we work to
improve the infrastructure, and subsequently the
tax base for all of Hopkinton is most appreciated.
Sincerely,
Muriel Kramer
