Applicant seeks variance for shared irrigation well at 34 Samuelson Street

Felicia McCary, a consultant with Grady Consulting, told the Duxbury Board of Health the owners of 27 Elder Brewster Road and 34 Samuelson Street are proposing a shared irrigation well and request relief to place the well 2.8 feet from the property line instead of the 5‑foot setback required by regulation. McCary said the proposal was driven by site constraints — an existing septic system and overhead 1,300‑volt power lines — and by the owners’ interest in sharing installation and maintenance costs. She said the owners would alternate irrigation use and share expenses.
