At its June 2 meeting the Chelmsford Board of Health unanimously approved the May 11 minutes and accepted incoming and outgoing correspondence while reviewing items that included the Alexan wastewater facility material, Central Mass Mosquito spray dates, a MassDOT emergency plan, sewer capacity concerns and CSX herbicide applications.
The Chelmsford Board of Health met on June 2, 2026, in the Fire Training room at 50 Billerica Road and unanimously approved the minutes of its May 11 meeting. Eric Meikle moved to approve the minutes; Richard Day seconded the motion and the board voted unanimously to adopt them.
The board reviewed a package of incoming correspondence presented for awareness and record. The materials included a Fuss & O’Neill submission concerning the Alexan Chelmsford Wastewater Treatment Facility, the Chelmsford Water District’s 2025 Consumer Confidence Report, and notices from Central Mass Mosquito listing planned spray dates of June 3, 9, 15, 18, 24 and 30. The incoming package also listed a DEP item related to Clarissa Road, an aerial larvicide/helicopter operation report, a MassDOT Emergency Response Plan for 3 Western Ave, and a Coneco release abatement measure at 295 Acton Road. By motion of Eric Meikle, seconded by Richard Day, the board voted unanimously to accept the incoming correspondence.
Outgoing correspondence reviewed by the board included a pending letter to Representative Cataldo regarding the Mass Ready Act (environmental bond bill, S.3064), communications to the Zoning Board of Appeals concerning 1 Smith St (40B comprehensive permit), and a Planning Board letter related to 9 Lady Slipper. The board also discussed a planned notice to residents about Board of Health Article XIX on site wastewater maintenance and inspection, lists of food establishments with and without violations, and a lifeguard variance approval. A motion to accept outgoing correspondence passed unanimously.

Under new business the board discussed sewer capacity and connection restriction concerns and noted the matter for further follow-up with town departments.
