Town Center Water District

One of the major initiatives currently underway that could affect the future of the Town Center is the possibility of a establishing a water district or otherwise providing a public water supply. A workgroup initiated by the Sherborn Business Association has been studying this possibility. The workgroup submitted a report to the Selectmen last October. That report is posted on the Planning Board web site which can be accessed by clicking on the underlined words. The link to the report can be found in the "News" section of the web page.

That report has been followed by test wells drilled on Price Woodlands off Morse Road. When that parcel was acquired by the Town in the 1990's, it was designated for future use as a municipal well site since it overlaps with one of the Town's aquifers. The test wells indicate that there appears to be sufficient quantity at the site. However, the tests for water quality have not yet been completed. When that information is available it will be posted here.
