YOU SHOULD HAVE RECEIVED YOUR CONSUMER CONFIDENCE REPORT (CCR) IN THE MAIL

This annual report is required by MassDEP and is your source for information about water testing and results. It also includes information about where your water comes from, how it is treated, the department’s backflow prevention program and the Town’s Water Conservation Policy and Water Resource Protection Bylaws. The 2009 CCR is available to download from this sight and hard copies are available at the Water Department, the Fletcher Library, and the Town Clerks office at Millennium, and at the Cameron Senior Center upon its opening.

DO YOU HAVE A HOME HEATING OIL TANK??
New Massachusetts Home Heating Oil Spill Prevention/Insurance Requirements...
As of June 2010, homeowners who heat with oil are required to install one of two relatively inexpensive spill prevention devices on systems that do not currently have these devices. Once the device has been installed, the homeowner will be eligible to purchase oil spill insurance through their homeowner's insurance provider.
Only a MA licensed oil burner technician can conduct work on oil heating systems. The Westford Fire Department's permit fee is $50 and only a MA licensed oil burner technician can apply for the proper permit.
It is strongly encouraged that residents contact their oil company if they have any questions or concerns on whether their system is in compliance. The Fire Department will not have those records.
