Groundwater Protection District bylaw - 2000
This is an overlay district superimposed on the zoning
districts of the Town. This overlay district shall apply to all new
construction or expansion of existing buildings and new or expanded
uses. Applicable activities/uses in a portion of one of the underlying
zoning districts must additionally comply with the requirements of this
district. Uses prohibited in the underlying zoning districts shall not
be permitted in the Groundwater Protection District.
Formation of one District - 2002
The Morningdale and Boylston Water Districts were
combined to form one District for the town. This allowed the elimination
of duplicate expenses and created the ability to borrow State and Federal
funds, if needed.
Storage Tanks - 2003
Complete rehabilitation of the Cutler Rd and Digital
water tanks. The interior of the tanks was sand blasted and recoated
with a two-coat epoxy. The exterior of the tanks were power washed,
spot primed, and repainted. The Cutler Road tank also had a second hatch
installed and the overflow pipe was extended. The cost for this project
was $148,000.
Water System Upgrades - 2006
The following project includes 3 major components
and is subject to public bidding and prevailing wage requirements under
MGL Chapter 30. The construction cost estimate is approximately $130,000.00
- Installation of a Chlorine Injection System
- Pump Station #3 - as recommended in 2004 by D.E.P. This
system will allow for implementation of water system chlorinating
in the event of detection of bacteria in the water system, and is
an emergency provision. System components will include chemical storage
tanks, a chemical metering pump and injection point, a chlorine analyzer,
appropriate fail-safes and alarms. The basic design has already been
approved by D.E.P., however, a more detailed set of plans and specifications
are required for public bidding.
- Adams St. Booster Station - Replace
the domestic water pumps and motor controls. Currently, one of the
three domestic water pumps doesn’t run and the other two pumps
run continuously regardless of water demand. This results in high
electrical costs and generally inefficient operation. The proposed
project includes replacement of the domestic water pumps and the installation
of variable frequency drives and associated control equipment to maintain
constant system pressure with reductions in electrical costs. The
pump controls will be integrated with the existing fire pump, automatic
transfer switch, and an auxiliary power unit in the facility.
- Well #5 - Removal of the 40 h.p. vertical
turbine pump and motor controls. It will be replaced with a 60 horse
power vertical turbine pump controlled with a variable frequency drive.
This will increase the flow rate from the well to match well #4 and
eliminate water hammer on pump start-up. This portion of the construction
phase of the project is to be funded by Signature Homes as part of
the water system improvements required for the Compass Point development.
