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.
