At Fall Town Meeting October 2024 a by-law was passed to have the following amended:

Any person with a privately-owned well should be aware that it is likely the well has the same or a similar water source as the Public Water System. This means that it is important for persons with privately-owned wells to also be efficient and mindful when it comes to water use. Any water conservation measures recommend for the customers to follow would be extra beneficial to the water supply, if persons who have privately-owned wells considered following the recommendations as well. This is extra important during times of drought.

The Attorney General has certified this to now be part of the Town’s General By-Laws. Article XVIII, Water Use.
