Berkley Board requires arsenic and aluminum filter, re‑test before occupancy at 4 Haystack Lane
Summary
The Town of Berkley Board of Health signed a well permit for 4 Haystack Lane but required installation of a filter for arsenic and aluminum and a re‑test before the property may be occupied.
The Town of Berkley Board of Health on Jan. 13 signed a well permit for 4 Haystack Lane but imposed a condition requiring installation of a filter for arsenic and aluminum and a follow‑up water test before occupancy is permitted. Daniel Fournier, clerk of the Board, and Patrick McCrohan, member, reviewed the well results and recorded the condition in the minutes.
The requirement follows test results presented to the Board showing levels that prompted the Board to require treatment before the property can be declared safe for occupancy. The Board’s action is recorded as a signed well permit with the specified condition; the minutes state the property must be re‑tested after the filter is installed.
The condition is framed as a pre‑occupancy safety step rather than a prohibition; the well permit was signed subject to the filter installation and re‑test. The minutes do not specify the vendor, certification standard for the filter, or an exact compliance deadline. The Board did not record a vote tally in the minutes; its action is documented as a signed permit with the stated condition.
Next procedural step: the property owner must install the filter and provide re‑test results for Board review before occupancy is allowed. The Board’s next scheduled meeting is Jan. 27, 2026, where outstanding results and permits may be revisited.
