Select Board approves request to seek Middleborough's approval for water connection at 2 Main Street
Summary
The Select Board voted to approve a request by property owner Jamie Bissonnette to seek a connection to Middleborough municipal water for 2 Main Street; the request will now go to Middleborough Town Meeting for final action.
The Lakeville Select Board approved a request from property owner Jamie Bissonnette seeking sanitary water service from the nearby Middleborough system for 2 Main Street. The Select Board's approval is a required local endorsement before the application proceeds to Middleborough Town Meeting for final authorization.
Board members noted the procedural step: when a Lakeville property seeks to connect to a neighboring municipality's water supply, Select Board approval is required to forward the request to the receiving town for its town meeting vote. The board moved, seconded and approved the endorsement and noted the application was expected to appear on Middleborough's April 28 town meeting warrant.
Why it matters: The endorsement will allow the property owner to petition Middleborough for intermunicipal water service. Lakeville approval does not itself create a water connection but is a necessary local step.
Action taken: The Select Board voted to endorse the application so it may proceed to Middleborough for a final decision at that town's upcoming meeting.
