Hearing continued on private well at 12–14 Morrison Way pending septic records
Summary
The commission continued a Request for Determination concerning a proposed private well at 12 and 14 Morrison Way to Aug. 12 after applicants said septic documentation and potential Natural Heritage review could change the well location.
The Lakeville Conservation Commission continued a hearing July 22 on a request by Doug Mann to install a private water-supply well at 12 and 14 Morrison Way. The commission set the next hearing date for Aug. 12, 2025, at 6:30 p.m.
Representing the applicant, Niall Zaga of Zenith said crews were on-site attempting to locate an existing septic system and that an expected Title 5 inspection had not been completed before the meeting. Zaga said initial records at the Board of Health were unclear; one system believed to be a cesspool appears to be a tank with a connected pit, which might change the well siting. He asked for a continuance so the final well location could reflect accurate septic information.
Commission members discussed the project’s proximity to Long Pond and noted the proposed well falls within the 100-foot buffer and in Flood Zone AE57. Commissioners recommended filing with Natural Heritage if the final well location comes closer to mapped Natural Heritage areas. The commission also asked for a dewatering plan to be shown on revised materials.
The commission voted to continue the hearing to Aug. 12 at 6:30 p.m. and requested that the applicant provide updated septic documentation, any Natural Heritage filings if applicable, and a dewatering plan before the continued hearing.
