Your feedback helps us prioritize what to improve next.
The approved Pillings Pond plan uses larger, less frequent alum treatments because prior higher doses worked better. Staff said nutrient pollution from older development, stormwater systems, and septic systems remains the pond’s main problem. At 159 Main Street, a compliance certificate was approved but will be held until part of a fence is relocated and wetland protection conditions are updated.
