Holliston Board of Health defers rooster regulation vote pending Town Counsel clarification. Chairperson Peter Liffiton raised a conflict between the proposed regulation directing complaints to the Board of Health and town communications suggesting the Agricultural Commission as the initial recipient, prompting the board to refer the final text to Town Counsel before proceeding; a vote is scheduled for May 12 if no issues arise. The board reviewed a 40B septic system design for four homes at 223 Courtland Street; engineer Rob Truax presented the common septic and well arrangement with mandatory three-year inspections, though abutters requested third-party review and expressed concerns about well proximity.
The Board met the 90th percentile on the SAPHE 2.0 Performance Standards assessment, meeting 146 of 164 applicable standards.
