Water is a big issue everywhere. PFAS, droughts and water bans, lead pipes, etc. How will connecting to MWRA water help?
Yes water is everywhere but good water is not.
We all know that humans can live without food for much longer than without water. Wayland has water but its quality is not good enough for drinking. Even with all of Wayland’s water supply, it is not enough to meet the maximum
daily demand.That is why we have water bans (restrictions) every year. Also, the water qualities are not meet the required standard, especially the PFAS and lead pipe issues. Connection to MWRA will provide us more water to meet our maximum water demand but also provide us with better quality water to meet the PFAS standard. Lead pipe and aged pipe would require time to replace and would need funding.
The Board of Public Works has a very broad agenda. How do you make sure each department gets the full attention that it requires?
The Board of Public Works work together very closely. Each of us is always willing to do what we know better and willing to do it. We all pay attention to identify the issues that need to be paid attention immediately. Also, the staff in the Department of Public Works are very knowledgeable about their work and work very hard.
