Ed, the Board’s agent, told the meeting the town received notice that the first positive mosquito was found in Lakeville that day. He said there have been five human cases in Massachusetts overall this year but none in Lakeville. The board said the detection could persist until the first hard frost and reminded parents and field users to use repellant as appropriate.

Board staff also explained that Plymouth County Mosquito Control continues scheduled roadway and priority area spraying and that the program’s individual resident request spraying had ended for the season. The board noted that the county still performs town‑level spraying on a routine schedule and that the county’s schedule is posted on the Plymouth County Mosquito Control website.

Why it matters: detection of infected mosquitoes increases the risk window for mosquito‑borne illnesses in the region and triggers public reminders about personal protective measures and the county spray schedule.","Board announced the first positive mosquito trap in Lakeville this season; the town remains without any human cases.

Board agent Ed said the catering business is established and will use The Eagles’ kitchen; because the applicant has not yet moved in the board will complete an inspection once the space is occupied. “We haven't done an inspection yet because they haven't moved in, so it would be pending an inspection,” Ed said.

A board member noted the town routinely inspects both bar/sales areas and the kitchen when separate operators use The Eagles’ facility. The motion approved the permit conditional on Ed completing the inspection; the vote was unanimous.

Why it matters: the conditional approval allows the caterer to proceed with plans to operate at The Eagles once the required on‑site inspection confirms the kitchen meets food‑safety standards.","The Board of Health approved a food establishment permit for 2 Sisters Catering at The Eagles (217 County Street) pending the town inspection of the kitchen space.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6469828,"Board approves local upgrade for septic repair at 50 Clear Pond Road, requires groundwater verification",795,601000,1396000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5780437-e2f22f775cc7ab4e97e8e973e62556f1&start=601&end=1396","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5780437-e2f22f775cc7ab4e97e8e973e62556f1/thumbnail_601000.jpg","/articles/6469828/Massachusetts/Board-approves-local-upgrade-for-septic-repair-at-50-Clear-Pond-Road-requires-groundwater-verification","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6469828-0365e9b499ef7d265d2ddad2ca9ff113/orig.mp4?Expires=1771192647&Signature=MUfsw66G0P6enR8xUezvy9UJxmQdFFnbio6iTr8ZviUqpnvcWetO9ButUkLaKkgt1q3i7ghY12bXzENCctbW-WEyrilRxVRLB~uPyMq-2lEIaG3Bgn2emTTAny9TRp-lq~w-P8qKJnTA-zfvtIK2Pjajv7R7HZQaELw98MoWRhqDjB1n0XOQyeEU0Pwk-h0mGG7ei~p74aYrydDeqo-Kw93qHny-98IPdcPLM-uQDN7lLitUTjHx0aYLj9NlHiMVEXGL~JJFeieSFsNUeGUCnRpoi5~Clq9wNIp7DMO1Kr~X93qsxNDz4GDcOIHaNNncff5Th~hiUx7GSzvW~CsXiQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Lakeville Board of Health on Sept. 17 approved a local upgrade and variances for a septic repair at 50 Clear Pond Road, but conditioned the approval on on‑site verification of groundwater elevation.

Darren Kalis of Foresight Engineering told the board that recent soil logs showed the groundwater or saturated soils higher than during a 1996 evaluation and that the design team is requesting a reduction of the required separation to 3 feet and a waiver to accept a single test hole. “So that being the case with the existing plumbing...we're asking for a variance down to 3 foot,” Kalis said. He said he raised the proposed system one foot from earlier configurations but would need a pump if the water table was higher than anticipated.

Board discussion focused on verifying the actual groundwater elevation in the field before finalizing the system type. Members referenced wetland flag elevations and prior percolation tests on neighboring lots; board staff noted fill and disturbed soils in parts of the backyard that can mask wetland signals. The board accepted the recommendation that Ed or another agent witness an open excavation to determine the actual bottom elevation; if groundwater is found to be higher than alleged, the applicant must install an H‑20 monolithic pump chamber and related modifications to plumbing.

The motion approved at the meeting included: waiver for the single test hole, variance for sieve/percolation analysis where applicable, reduction of separation from groundwater from 4 to 3 feet (contingent on open‑hole inspection), and authorization to relocate the tank slightly as needed. The motion also directed that, if the site investigation shows higher groundwater, the system must use a pump chamber and the applicant must provide the specified H‑20 monolithic pump if required. The board approved the motion by voice; the vote was unanimous.

Why it matters: the groundwater elevation determines whether a conventional gravity system is acceptable or whether a pumped system or mound is required. The board’s condition to witness installation aims to ensure the final design matches in‑ground conditions and reduces the risk of premature system failure.","Lakeville approved a local upgrade for a septic repair at 50 Clear Pond Road with variances for separation to groundwater and for using a single test hole; approval contingent on open‑hole inspection and potential pump installation if groundwater is higher than expected.",{"_33":113,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":114,"_41":115,"_43":116,"_45":117,"_47":118,"_49":119,"_51":120,"_53":121,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":122,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":123,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6469829,"Lakeville Board of Health approves septic variances for 4 Court Circle with conditions",475,62000,537000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5780437-e2f22f775cc7ab4e97e8e973e62556f1&start=62&end=537","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5780437-e2f22f775cc7ab4e97e8e973e62556f1/thumbnail_62000.jpg","/articles/6469829/Massachusetts/Lakeville-Board-of-Health-approves-septic-variances-for-4-Court-Circle-with-conditions","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6469829-6e3ade98d320d9cfde15e437b571db93/orig.mp4?Expires=1771192647&Signature=CHavD5AR7aWSPOP5UE~yZ-r14GM8MyOuIpWsP-65VOSIXdClMXvRa6tM5nAD6CkIkE4MuDSZgnZp53yIPOfp2s4bVGTTDYF466zDPC7Y~W8hlJVIJsl-QQbjHnSRnbY~PUCLsk7Sa~9XCyNr5YFFuIBorXDgGmXztbmBIGfkhAGVMxCiT2-3Aiv0Z5r61qc-Qvpi~~22wKZz3lqJX~AoyiJUTEsUCGCRlwLnuOqPEtfSKwehibcLLdjH6fOo0KcrT1PyvtHBNtSELfozK6IeX9NEkIcWvu87aOiHpHyolroMl8gO4sD8cxU4H9dJ7egt0X2WDjJyYxwhj0fV7L4m5Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Lakeville Board of Health on Sept. 17 approved variances to allow a replacement septic system at 4 Court Circle despite the lot lying inside a surface-water protection zone.

The board granted the property owners permission to replace the existing system with an aggregate-free infiltrator leach field and a new two-compartment septic tank, with conditions specifying the tank be no closer than 85 feet to the pond and the leaching field no closer than 135 feet. The board also waived the usual requirement for multiple test holes, accepting the single test hole performed, and required a Board agent to inspect plumbing in the pool‑house above the garage to verify how it connects to the primary system.

Jay McKinnon of Schneider, Davigan, and Leoni represented the applicants, Richard and Deborah Hanson, and described the proposal as a replacement of a working system. “The title 5 had a conditional pass...What needed to be replaced was a deteriorating d box. The d box was replaced, and, the COC was, approved by the board of health also in July 2024,” McKinnon said. He told the board the owners want a newer system for the dwelling and that a new two‑compartment septic tank would be installed in roughly the same location as the existing tank but rotated 90 degrees.

Board members emphasized verification of plumbing associated with a pool house above a garage that contains a sink and bathroom fixtures. Board agent Ed said the pool house discharges to the house via an ejector/grinder pump that lifts wastewater into the building sewer, and the board required the agent to confirm the connection and clarify whether bedroom use or other water fixtures would affect the permitted three-bedroom status. The motion of approval mandated agent inspection of the room over the garage to verify how “that plumbing gets out to the septic system.”

The variance grant included: (1) acceptance of a single test pit rather than the typical multiple test pits; (2) a minimum setback of 85 feet for the septic tank; (3) a minimum setback of 135 feet for the leach field; and (4) an on-site inspection of the pool‑house plumbing by the board’s agent. The board voted in favor by voice; no public comments were recorded on the item.

Why it matters: the lot is in a surface‑water protection zone (Zone A); variances change the standard separations intended to protect Long Pond and local drinking water. The board’s conditional approval seeks to balance system replacement for a sale with on-site verification to limit risk to the reservoir.

The applicants left cards with the board after the vote and the board closed the item with the stated inspection conditions.","The Lakeville Board of Health granted variances to allow a replacement septic system at 4 Court Circle in a surface-water protection zone, with set minimum setbacks and an inspection of a pool‑house plumbing connection required.","actionData","errors"]
