The Plympton Board of Health on Jan. 13 directed follow-up after a failed equipment test and logged outstanding compliance concerns.
Minutes show the board recorded a failure of the "Kkaties Shake Machine" test conducted on Jan. 7, 2026, and asked the Health Agent to follow up on next steps. The Health Agent, Kevin Forgue, is listed absent in the attendance portion of the minutes.
Separately, the owner of 23 Prospect Road reported that Wind River stated a pump record was in error; the board asked Wind River to provide a corrected pump record but the minutes state no response had been received. The board also asked the Health Agent to provide an update on 76 Upland Road at the next meeting.
The minutes list failed or conditionally failed septic systems per Title 5 reports for 50 Forest Street, 50 Maple Street (noting a needed D-box replacement), 36 Colchester Street and 36 Parsonage Road with report dates recorded in the minutes. The board recorded no new enforcement actions in these minutes; several items are noted as 'no update' or 'waiting for plan.'
The board asked administrative staff to gather more information from the Town Clerk on whether old local regulations should be removed or whether new Board of Health regulations should be added; that E-Code discussion was scheduled for the next meeting. The meeting concluded with routine administrative business and adjournment at 5:52 p.m.
