Dear Town of Bellingham Water Customer:
Please be advised that an instructional mailer will be going out to Bellingham residents regarding an upcoming town wide water service line review. Bellingham Water Department will be conducting this review to stay in compliance with the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) recent Lead and Copper Rule Revisions. We will be collecting data on the age of homes, water mains, and service lines in this water service inventory project. The mail notice will include detailed instructions for self-reporting information to assist the Town in this effort. It will also include information for scheduling a service line identification appointment. Thank you for your participation and supporting our Town and the community.
For any questions or to email your identification form and pictures, send here LSL@bellinghamma.org
Lead Service Line Plan and data are now available
Thank you for participating in the lead service line inventory. Our consultant Wright-Pierce worked with us to formulate the information, collect and collalate the data and write the plan. With our approval the Plan and data were submitted on time to MassDEP.
