Norton Water Deemed Safe

Testing done between Jan. 1 and Dec. 31, 2011.

Earlier this week, Norton Water and Sewer Department released the 2011 water report, which revealed that Norton is not in violation of water contamination levels. All wells in Norton received a high contamination susceptibility threat rank for pesticide and manure storage due to land uses and activities within its recharge area. This rank does not imply poor water quality. Norton Water and Sewar tests indicated no fecal coliform was present in town water.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Charter Changes Will Strip the Water/Sewer Commissions of all Authority

Letter to the editor from Steven Wiseman of Water/Sewer Commission.

On two separate occasions the Board of Selectmen sent information on all three Charter change questions to every voting household in the Town.  Both of these mailings contained erroneous and confusing information.  The second mailing was not received by the voters in the time frame allowed by law. Both mailings are paid for by the taxpayers, perhaps the Board of Selectmen could provide the public with the costs incurred for printing, mailing and Town employees.   The Water/Sewer Commissions ask that the proper concise information is presented to the voters and allow them to make the proper decisions.  We have addressed the issues in question two only as that is our area of knowledge.  Now let’s look at some of the facts;  One important …
