Board of Health · Meeting of September 15, 2026
WESTBOROUGH — Health board mandated septic system action and approved appointments at September 15 meeting. The Westborough Board of Health voted to require weekly pumping of the septic system serving 20 homes at Silver Hollow Estates and recommended connection to town sewer after nitrogen levels reached 68 parts per million, nearly triple the state threshold. The board voted unanimously to appoint Katrina as Tobacco Compliance Agent, accept measles exposure standard operating procedures for public schools, and seek Conservation Commission responsibility for floodplain regulations.
The board declined the Nicotine Free Generation policy, under which 28 other Massachusetts towns have permanently prohibited tobacco and nicotine product sales to anyone born after a specified date.
