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.
Patchy rain nearby, with a high of 48 and low of 30 degrees. Don't forget your umbrella! Overcast in the morning, cloudy in the afternoon, overcast during the evening, light drizzle overnight.
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.
