On May 28, 2024, the Dedham-Westwood Water District announced the availability of its 2023 Consumer Confidence Report (CCR) online. The CCR, which provides information including water source, quality, and testing, shows that the water district is currently in compliance with state drinking water standards.
It also notes that, according to a June 2003 Source Water Assessment and Protection Report from Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection, seven out of twelve water supply sources for the water district are highly susceptible to contamination, due to hazardous materials storage and use, transportation corridors, and residential land use.
The CCR is available at https://www.dwwd.org/2023ccr.
Thanks to Dedham-Westwood Water District for sharing this news with Westwood Minute.
Sunny, with a high of 92 and low of 63 degrees. Sunny in the morning, clear in the afternoon and evening,
This needed to happen 5 years ago. But now the real wrangling begins as MPT will fight to get as much $$$ as they can from the state as possible”just compensation.”
I appreciate all of the work and time that the FS1 Steering Committee and Select Board have put into this process. I've also noticed a big difference in communication around this from the town on Facebook and Westwood Wire. This feels like a much different process than the first time around.
Combing the FS1 vote with the general election makes a ton of sense, and in fact, makes me wonder why not do this will ALL elections instead of holding town elections in April?
Just a reminder that you can e-mail the FS1 Committee at FS1Committee@westwoodma.gov with questions/feedback, etc.
Two different votes for the Project?
First one in October for 'site selection, budget, and funding sources' for a new FS1.
Then, a November vote for 'designing, constructing, equipping, and furnishing' of a new FS1.
Seems repetitive.
