Rehoboth Water Report 

Joseph Nunes, the Chairman of the town’s Water Commission, told voters at the September 30 town meeting that the board had offered opinions on various construction projects.

Nunes said the board had also submitted requests to the Board of Selectmen “to be more involved with other committees in town.”

“It’s an ongoing process with the Board of Selectmen with hope of a resolution in the near future,” Nunes noted. “The Commission is in communication with the Fire Chief to redo the water supply signs seen around water sources in town. These signs represent a source of water for the Fire Department and not a source of drinking water. The Commission supports an Aquifer Protection Zone that includes the entire town.”

Nunes said the Aquifer Protection Zone currently includes 40 percent of the entire community.

“This must be initiated by the Planning Board,” Nunes added.
