Select Board has emphasized the need for a Commissioner on the Dedham-Westwood Water District, a group comprised of six members.

Descriptions of DWWD's work and that of the other groups in need of volunteers are available on the Town of Westwood's website. Check the website for updates, as openings may be added or positions may be filled, following publication of this posting.

These are great strides in addressing concerns about a lack of openness and two way dialogue raised by Westwood citizens. Thanks to the Select Board and to Mr. Read for listening and acting.
Thank you Ms. Galkowski for this thoughtful acknowledgement of positive steps being made by our Town government. My generation loves the positive empowerment. Exemplary.
In promulgating the public comment policy, the Select Board has taken a big step towards showing willingness to engage in conversation with Westwood residents about the many important issues at hand—currently, the Fire Station 1 and the budget.
