Town
of Hopkinton Sewer Connections Phases 4
& 5
The Board of Health would like to
inform residents that it has no mandatory
requirements for connection to the sewer in
phases 4 and 5. Unlike phases 1, 2, and 3,
Title 5 currently requires that no new
system shall be constructed or and existing
system upgraded or expanded 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
