Board of Health Approves Septic Repair with Multiple Variances and Deed Restrictions

The Board of Health approved a septic repair and variance request for 2 Marigold Lane. The approval included multiple variances for a new well and the septic system, specifically altering the distance requirement for the tank to the pond from 400 feet to 200 feet, resulting in a total of 11 variances. A two-bedroom deed restriction was also mandated, along with a condition requiring the property owner to tie into municipal water service and abandon their well within two years of water becoming available on the property.

Mosquito Control Program and Septic System Updates Announced

The Board of Health discussed announcements, specifically highlighting the Plymouth County Mosquito Control program. Residents are informed that they can receive up to eight free mosquito sprayings on their property per year, typically conducted between 2 a.m. and 4 a.m. The program also collects old tires during the fall and winter months to mitigate mosquito breeding grounds. Additionally, the board confirmed that new fees and the 2,000 gallons per day limit for septic systems are now in effect, and discussed the importance of notifying local engineers about these changes.
