Board of Health Meeting - July 13th, 2026 | Westford, MA

The Westford Board of Health held a meeting on July 13, 2026, where key procurement-related discussions included the approval of an irrigation well for Century Aggregates at 29 North Main Street. The board reviewed environmental concerns, particularly perchlorate contamination, and set conditions for well testing prior to use and annually thereafter, with usage restricted to dust suppression in the crushing area. The board voted to approve the well with these conditions. Additionally, the meeting covered updates on draft battery energy storage system (BESS) regulations, with input from clean energy professionals and discussions on public health and safety considerations, including fire risks and water usage. The board plans further review and coordination with town legal and planning departments on these regulations. No contract awards or budget allocations were reported, but the meeting addressed regulatory policy development that could impact future procurement and project approvals related to clean energy infrastructure.
