Quick context to catch up fast.
The proposed Belchertown High School stadium field project would replace full reconstruction with targeted turf rehabilitation and two onsite water-storage tanks after wells produced insufficient water. The revised plan is estimated at $232,000, below the previously approved $254,000 appropriation.

The school department said the two wells produce about 8 and 12 gallons per minute, which is not enough for peak irrigation needs. The revised plan would use tanks to store well water, rehabilitate the existing turf, and continue field maintenance without increasing the approved project budget. About $57,000 has already been spent on wells and related site work, and unused funds are expected to be returned.
