Good afternoon and welcome to the Westport Board of Health meeting on February 18th, 2026 at 2 p.m. Um, under master law chapter 38 section 20F, this meeting is being recorded and please join me.
I aliance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands. One nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. >> Okay.
Um, we'll start with the director. Any questions on that? >> We'll go into the update. >> Okay. So, um, I will be attending a title 5 seminar on February 25th. This year's seminar will be um feature presentations
on the septic system approval process, IIE systems, climate change, and new mass D training guidelines. Um I spoke with Claire Golden a couple of times this week and I know that she's going to be there presenting along along with um
Harsh the from the DIIA division. So it's going to be um a good training um because there's going to be some interesting changes coming up. Um, I'm going to summarize the next one. There's a uh in later in the year in October, there's the on-site wastewater mega
conference that's being held in Westminster, Colorado. Um, it's a national collabor uh collaboration effort among the National On-site Wastewater Recycling Association, the National Association of Wastewater Technicians
and the State On-site Regulators Alliance in cooperation with Norah's Colorado State Affiliate, the Colorado Professionals and Onsite Wastewater. It's just going to be a mega conference bringing everybody together across the country um uh
you know to do education training on on-site and decentralized wastewater uh systems. The program will focus on uh decentralized water systems including septics serving individual residences and cluster developments and there'll be
educational sessions etc. So, seems like an interesting conference, something that um I'll keep in the back of my mind. It was still early in the year, but something I wouldn't mind attending. And then lastly, the Western Public Health Association will host its
annually totally title 5 conference at the log cabin in Holio on March 24th. And this conference brings together industry experts, local public health officials and uh D staff to provide updates and training on title five related topics.
Planned sessions include title 5 fundamentals, private wells metric, which I was uh telling Phil is the new the state's new um well, it's not new yet because it's not out, but it's going to be their electronic inspection software reporting system. um we'll be
able to go into the field with tablets and do our inspections and reporting all through this metric system, but they've hit kind of a roadblock uh financially when we had budget cuts. So, that's still in the works. >> Do you know how much that is for that conference?
>> Which one? >> Western Mass. >> Um I don't, but I can um I can look it up. I'm not sure off the top of my head. >> Okay. >> But I will let you know. But that's what that's >> Oh yeah. So, um just the quick
department update. The board of health, you know, we're short staffed. We're behind. It's been very busy. Um but we're doing our best to keep up. Hopefully um I know you know that looking at the last select board meeting looks like in the budget that they're looking at they included a part-time
clerk for the board of health and um so if that goes through town meeting then we'll be able to uh actively seek a part-time clerk that will really help um the situation with with things up there. So >> the administrative level so that we're
down so that's 192. >> Yes, it's been uh quite busy running all over the place and trying to keep up with things, but uh we'll see. We haven't, you know, we got some resumes and but um nothing really applicable to
the job. So, we'll just keep um reviewing the resumes as they come to us. >> Okay. We have >> Yep. So, we have three-bedroom construction utilizing a singular and a quick four.
It's been through Concom at 708 Hicksbridge Road on 112,384T lot for a Sheamus and Taylor McNamera. >> Any questions? No. >> So, I move that we endorse the director
for the plan for 708 Hicks Bridge Road. Second. >> All in favor? >> I next is the minutes of February 2nd. I have no questions or changes to >> Yes. >> Okay. So, I move that we approve the
minutes for February 2nd, 2026. >> Second. All >> in favor? That's unanimous. Thank you. Um, okay. Um, now moving on to other business. We're we had a we've had a good discussion about storm water
regulation. Um, we're revising that and um um I think this latest draft incorporates um the changes we discussed at the last at the working group
meeting. Um I highlighted all that in yellow where the language changed. Any questions about any of that? >> Yeah. So, when I looked it over, when I sending said sent something to Matt about this, I looked it over,
at least my memory was that we had talked about doing something about um erosion controls. So I just suggested to Matt that we add a sentence in the storm
water management system, you know, which would say that um so the system has should incorporate um erosion control measures to prevent the um prohibited discharges set out in
701 7.1 one which is I think I said um erosion control during um alter uh you know alterations or construction on the site and um Matt seemed to think that
was okay. >> So um >> so um you want to add that to which where is that? Well, that would go in I thought it would go into the storm water management systems shall
>> and it would be >> okay. >> Kind of making it part of that >> the design standard >> that design you know >> talking about 7.0 okay >> 7.0 yeah >> is it going in 7.0 or 7.1 >> oh either way I didn't care um
>> I think it well I think 7.0 is a better spot for it >> okay all right that's fine >> I think that's I I don't have a problem with that. You have have you given the language proposed language to Matt? >> I did. >> Yeah, he emailed I could just add it in. >> Okay,
great. Thank you. Um, any other uh changes because then we could um go ahead and schedule um a hearing to see about adopting this
regulation. And I think we're looking at um the April, April 2nd, I think was the date. >> Well, then I don't know if the other thing that Matt mentioned was like, you know, circulating it um you know, to
some of the engineering folks that we deal with just to see if there was >> I just >> Yes. >> Yeah. Just so that that's kind of built in which would probably be fine because you're talking about April, >> right? >> Yeah. I'll just go to the public hearing and I'll in between all that >> I'll I'll circulate it. a few people.
Yeah. >> Okay. Yep. >> So, we have um board of health hearing on um March 30th or the 13th of April. For some reason, I thought we had picked a date. I don't know.
>> I won't be here on the 13th of April. >> I'll be waiting from the 8th to the 18th. >> How about the 27th? >> Uh April. Yeah. Do it then. Okay. >> Okay.
>> Do we have a time? >> Um, let's do that at 4:30. You don't have any Well, we don't know for sure if we have any comments yet. >> We don't for that date. >> Okay. So, um, do that at 4:30.
advertise it. Um, anything else on that storm water? So we have and we'll have that final draft um um for the revised storm water regulation um with that one addition
control um and that can start circulating when you're a chance. >> Sure. >> So anything else on that? >> No. >> Okay. Um, you talked about scheduling another
working meeting. I'm sorry. Maybe the week of March 9, like a week in between, you know, non. I I'll I'll be around for sure. >> Are you around that week?
>> Um I am, but I won't be at the March 2nd board meeting. >> Okay. That's the one that I was going to have to do remote. >> Which one? >> March 2nd. >> March 2nd.
>> Want to just move to March 9th. >> Oh, you know, you might not be there. You might not be back by March. >> I will be not. >> I will be. I will be >> and I'll be back to I'm going away. >> Um we can move um to >> Oh. Um
>> we have a bunch of appointments scheduled already. Um >> that's up to you if you want to still just try to do it remote. We can just um you know just be filling you in remote. >> Yeah. Yeah. We just didn't we just
resched this one that the um cabinets. >> Yeah, we we add it to the list. So, >> okay. Um I think continue with that
date. Um and >> yeah, what we'd have to do is just set this up to be a hybrid meeting. That's all. I mean I can try not a lot. We'll keep the agenda pretty straightforward. In fact, you can
implement it 420. >> Okay. >> And uh keep it pretty. So when we vote on the uh continuence for the cabin's neck one, just tell me what time and I'll >> I'll put it in the book appropriately.
>> Yeah. >> So we're not going to have a meeting on the second. Just go to go to the night. >> We are meeting remote that I will be remote. Um >> and you will be holding down the fort here. >> All right. Um um but we're going to not
add anything else to the agenda other than what's already been committed. >> Okay. >> We'll keep it short and sweet. >> Okay. >> As short and sweet as we can. Um okay. So coming back to the working meeting
the week of March 9th. Um any suggestion? Do we have to say >> um >> Oh, the 9th is not going to be good for
that. Um the Tuesday is usually my child care day. I could try to change it to the Monday so that I can be here for a Tuesday. So, let me work on that. >> Well, but I'm a Wednesday.
>> Um, it would have to be later because I have two appointments on the Wednesday. The Thursday, um, I have the caregiver support group in the afternoon I could do in the morning.
I'm fine without it. I expect I don't have a ticket. Let's go get my phone. >> Um, so we shoot for 10:30 >> on the 12th. >> Yep. >> So what what day?
>> 10 um March 12th. 10:30. >> That's a Thursday. >> Yeah. >> Thursday. Does that work for you? >> No. >> No. >> Oh. Never miss you. >> I mean, we could do the Tuesday. >> You okay? >> Yes.

>> morning works best for me? Uh >> 10 o'clock. Uh >> the 10th >> 10 10 to 12 I guess. I got a bunch of uh septic stuff going on that day I got to go do. So >> um yep. So we'll we'll just try to be
efficient and not talk too much. Okay. Working meeting. So, I would entertain a motion to schedule a working meeting for Tuesday, March 10th at 10:00 a.m. >> So, moved.
>> We'll have to and figure what do we want on that agenda? >> Um, go back to >> Yeah, that's the big one. um and kind of just sort of update where we are
with other priorities. >> Okay. >> Uh so 10. Okay. Um I'll second that motion. All in favor? >> That's unanimous. Thank you. >> Okay. Um board member updates.
>> Um I have nothing worthy to share. Okay. >> And from Truro, >> what's that? >> I I put in a call to to Truro and um I mean this is I um
but I think we have time I think we have time to get to it. I'm just kind of trying to put down my thoughts about the kind of the different options that we have and do some analysis. But um
the surrogs are just very enlightening as to how they approached it and all the different ways to kind of think about it. >> Okay. So just just relative to that distribute
another sample for we can talk about it being on the camp. This is just from um highlighted number four >> on how they whose is this >> I believe it's sec.
>> Oh see I just didn't hear you well there. Okay. Yeah. Oh, there's one thing that um uh that um uh Jim Whiten from the planning board I
don't know how this topic came up um I guess because he's on the watershed alliance and they've been talking about it and the feed was he's also serpenting agency and he said that um he might uh I
guess we wanted to wanted we were encouraged to to go through Serpent and see if they could like pull together all the communities within Serpent and see how they were dealing with ces.
So >> you have I didn't I didn't encourage him but I didn't discourage him. So we'll see. Yeah. >> Okay. So, you know, any more information we can gather preparation for that meeting would be helpful.
>> Yeah. Yeah. And I um I was going to we haven't set up the time, but I was going to sit down with Matt and then circulate either regs or like a condensed part of it, but um so we'll have stuff ready for >> Yeah, definitely.
>> Okay, great. Thank you, Phil. Um [clears throat] so I am beginning to work on the um mental health awareness month planning with um Olive U with a focus on the substance
use disorder and the opioid settlement funds. Um we had our um uh our opioid settlement fund advisory committee meeting last night and we're really stuck in in in the process of
developing the RFP and looking at other options for distributing funds in the form of grants. So, um I continue to work with the refinement of that um and with hopefully um once we've made some
adjustments that Chris Vitali had suggested. Oh, and the other thing is is that it's also um the RFP is out with the um Association of Public Health um attorney Sabaro. Um I can't remember her
name. that was sent by Mosaic to her to look at to give us advice on how to proceed um with the RFP and any adjustments that need to be made. So, we're kind of in this limbo, but we're still working on education and um and um
obtaining information from the community. uh the superintendent is developing a survey which will be distributed to all the parents um in an email and um then after that we may distribute to the kids so we can see what they think is needed.
So continue to do that. >> Thank you for your dedication to that. Um I have a draft of the next um um health notes column. It's going to be just about announcing the household hazardous waste day, March 28th and
registration will begin March 1st and we have very limited capacity. So people who are interested should sign up pronto because once it's closed they won't be accommodate anymore. I think you know at the last meeting or last working meeting
we talked about like our roles at that and I don't know if we ever talked about that did we like if how if we would be I don't know manning cables or what the expectations were from the board able to do that. >> So in the the last time I mean basically
it's it's at the front end. >> Yeah. check in, right? >> Sort of managing the traffic flow. Yeah. And then once they move to the back where Trident will be set up. >> Yeah. Yeah. We're not going there. >> We're not touching anything. Um so it's
but it would be diverting cars that aren't registered or have materials that can't be accepted, you know, that kind of thing. So >> I mean, so you because I haven't participated in it, so that's why I'm asking it, but I'd be happy to do it. I just didn't know if we were going to
talk about bodies are helpful. >> Yes, we um but we can talk about that at the working meeting. Just >> do we know what time we're going to be doing that? >> Um the event is from 9 to 12. Um >> um I know that there are competing
events that day. Um so um we'll have to work out. >> Yeah, I may be able to do the very beginning, >> but I have a family conflict. Um >> um so I could be late for the family thing, but I
>> I don't want to miss that. >> Let's let's work out the logistics and make sure we have good coverage and then I'll be asking >> and I've been told there's going to be donuts to have the volunteers. So >> it's going to be donuts [laughter] >> um >> that you get before you touch the
hazardous. >> Yes. [laughter] Yeah. So you don't blow after. take your gloves off before you eat the >> I just uh be before Sean being here reminded me that uh on the working meeting I get some perks scheduled out in March that because we um we're
scheduled some perks out in March. So I'll have to just look at the perk schedule because it's not here with me >> to verify my availability for for the working meeting. >> Okay. Well, we we'll reschedu >> Okay. >> And we can move it around that day. I
think it sounds like that day >> except for um maybe it's not a Thursday. I think I am a Yeah, I'll be available all day. >> Tuesday. >> I'll be >> okay. Okay. Um
okay. Uh and um I think that's it. Um just a reminder, we're supposed to notify DP a month in advance about household hazardous waste. So I don't know if you know anything about how to do that. Yeah, I'll I they sent us a thing. I'll I'll respond to them. I
don't know. >> All right. I just was looking at my notes. Want to make sure we kept everything in order. Um okay. Um I think we're closing up to 2:30. I'm going to
um call the hearing for um Susan Brown at 31 Bridge Road. This is one bedroom with a floor on a 6,83t lot. Teeny tiny uh with Sean Lee from
Engineers and Consultants. >> Those are so I passed out plans because um the ones that are updated are uh the old version of the plans. I passed out hard copies of the revised plans that came in. >> It's like the good old days.
>> Yeah. >> Yeah. Exactly. Yeah. >> So these um so these are um in response to your promises. >> Not really. It was just some note changes and minor changes really.
>> Okay. All right. Uh Sean Leonard representing uh Susan Kitchen Brown. Uh this is the first house if you're driving down Bridge Street toward Bakers on the right. the big colonial house. It's the oldest house that's there. It's been there forever. Kitchens have lived
there for 70 years plus. Uh so it has a cess pool and that's all. So she's replacing the cess poolool with a compliant title 5 system as requested requested by the board of health. Uh we can fit a complete full-size
uh system on the lot uh except for a couple minor things. One is a property line uh reduction property line barance. I have the green cards for the utters. I have the utter in the back and we got a variance to the road. So, we notified the highway department. >> Okay. Thank you.
>> For life. I'm not sure who's in charge of what, but uh and essentially the only other variance that's needed is a variance to her own well. We can get 100 ft from away from everybody else's well in the neighborhood uh with this
configuration. So, it works as well as expected. It's all sand. This is completely dune sand underneath as far as you can go. Uh the very low water table, a very small lens of fresh water, so there's plenty of separation. Uh
basically, it's a four bedroomedroom house. Have you confirmed that? Yeah. Okay. It's a fourbedroom house. Uh like I said, it's been in existence for 70 years. As long as that and this is the best best we could do with what we have basically.
>> What is the distance to the >> 79? 79. >> Excuse me. >> 76 feet. Excuse me. 76. I'm looking at it upside down. 76 feet. >> Okay. >> Uh >> Okay. >> Uh anything else? >> No, I think I think that's it. I mean,
it's everybody's familiar with the neighborhood. They're all the same similar lot. She actually got a little larger lot than the rest of them, but uh this is the best she can do for that neighborhood. >> Okay. >> The well sample uh submitted the well sample and it came up surprisingly good. Yeah.
>> Yeah. They usually have a sulfur problem down there. She did not. >> Okay. >> So, yeah, the only thing that was we questioned was the bedroom number of bedrooms, but Joe went out did a bedroom and everything matched up. Um, and there were just some minor revisions to the plan that Sean [snorts] took care of
pretty uh promptly. So, uh I have no issues with with things. >> Um, this is a maximum feasible compliance. I will just for the record. Just just to be clear, you know, it's a small lot.
>> Yeah. nitrogen sensitive because the well site um but the the well results were good. So, um I think you could make your waiver request on the basis of
site water quality conditions, but I don't think you can make it based on financial um because it doesn't meet the criteria and the property assessed value is more like 800 plus,000 not 493 based on the assessor's field.
Um but as long as board feels comfortable with um site water quality um >> conditions um for maximum feasible compliance then we could proceed on that basis but I would say just for the
record not on the financial hardship basis >> agreed >> yeah I'm fine with that yeah that's >> yeah I don't yeah I don't use that's fine I'll just leave it
upgrade. >> If I told you what they paid for the lot in 1954, you'd be surprised. [laughter] >> It's a [clears throat] four and a half. >> My parents paid what? 17,000 for our house back 60 years ago.
>> Okay. Comments. >> I'm just looking to make sure that the same Um foundation >> and that's so all the issues that you had tagged before those are all tak
Okay. >> Okay. So, um I move that we approve um the plans for 31 Bridge Road owned by Susan Brown revised plan of 2526
[snorts] um with the variances as written on the plan um and the following conditions. There's a fourbedroom deed restriction hold harmless agreement
concom review is concom on here >> there's no wetlands or waterways within 200 ft that's one of the notes I read >> they're still going to go through get stamped though just yeah and then um three years of water testing >> yeah for the site well
>> am I missing anything >> I think that's it >> okay >> so second >> motion has been made and seconded to approve the project at 31 road um with the with the conditions as outlined. Um all in favor
>> I would be happy one last time. >> Well, she got the letter and she' been trying to do this for about a year now. season's coming up for you guys. >> Not much going on right now.
>> See you soon. Thank you. Thank you. Okay. We're going to wait just in case shows up for the discussion. But I will call
early the variance hearing that is continued from February 2nd. Um 198 cabinets neck road represent for the be revocable trust is a threebedroom with brick four and a singular on a 5,000
square foot lot. Um that one um there's a mixup in the office. We didn't get the updated plans. So we um there's been changes um so we haven't had a chance to review it. So, we're going to
continue it to March 2nd at 4:20 p.m. >> Yeah. 4:20 p.m. >> I was just curious if um what the cancellation was for the uh >> Well, we're going to wait till 2:45 in case somebody
>> Oh, in case somebody shows up. Okay. Did I just not hear that? Okay. >> Um discuss it because I don't want to start the discussion in case somebody does. >> Yeah. Yeah. Okay. So, we're moving to continue um the 198 Kevin Road um plan
to March the 2nd at what time? >> 4:20 p.m. >> 4:20 p.m. So, moved. >> Second. >> A motion made and seconded to continue the hearing for 19820. All in favor? All right.
[snorts] >> Um, do you guys have the documents for for the 245 and your tablets? I think it was >> quite I think it was clear enough that they were going to cancel. So, but it's up to board if they want to wait till
2:45, but um I think they were pretty clear that they couldn't make it to this meeting. So, um if you want to wait, we can. If not, >> um, um, I'm going to wait a minute because I just realized I forgot.
Um, the storm water um, regulation. We didn't discuss the application form itself. There was a minor change on that. People look at that. Um, we added just um the only thing we added was the um the
homeowner acknowledges responsibility for ensuring the >> um so I just want to make sure that we're we're all set with that too. >> That doesn't that's not really technically part of the hearing. >> Yeah. >> But it's just >> Yeah.
>> Just I'm sorry. I wanted to I didn't want to skip over that. Okay. Let's go to the discussion for 245 then. Um um this is the what is known as the
social club at 908910 main road. Um and they have an inadequate um onsite sewage disposal system. is way under sized for this the um
establishment as a restaurant bar. Um I don't know exactly what official category is but >> and it's been inter in intermittent failure. So our records are going back you know 10 15 20 years or you know how
they can be. So, but there is records in there and letters about failure, about ponding. Um, and we kind of stumbled upon this when we were getting the um food applications in and there was kind of a discrepancy Joe
brought to my attention about the number of seeds. So, I grabbed the file [snorts] and of course looked further um and discovered all this good stuff. So, we've been trying to I think this goes back into December. We've been
trying to schedule a meeting with the um ownership and the manager since day one to try to talk about and come up with a a good plan. But, you know, we've gotten silence and then we started getting we can't make it this day, how about this day? We can't make
it this day, how about this day? and on and on and on and finally it just got to the point where I just wanted to bring them before the board to let's just you know talk about it with the board and figure out a plan forward here because I've been trying to get in and nowhere basically we ordered them to get a title five inspection
>> because of the kind of sketchy records that we have um and um so now according to my last email from them they have a I extended it to March 2nd they said they have it scheduled for March 11th.
>> Um, we've been extending things for, you know, at some point we're going to stop extending things. So, >> um, I say March 2nd. Um, and, um, that's the letter that they received. And I don't know, >> I don't think she's going to her I think the argument was that she was going to
be away until the 16th or 17th of March. But, um, Joe explained to her that she didn't need to be here. you know, some, you know, title five inspection is basically just anybody can just let them in to count the seats and everything else is done pretty much outside. So,
um, but I, uh, we haven't heard back. >> Okay. And, um, you indicated that they indicated they would not attend the discussion today. Yeah, I think in my email said that in one of the emails, if you have all the
paperwork in your tablets, um she clearly says she can't make it because she's going to be out of town until the 17th. >> I didn't think we have the letters. I think that >> Okay, so I did receive that email and um >> Okay, >> that's why it's showing canceled on the
um on the agenda. >> Okay, so um the um action you're um recommending today is that we for the March 2nd deadline for the title five inspection. Otherwise, we'll refer to
town council for further action. Is that >> Yeah. So, um yeah, exactly. >> Okay. >> Uh any discussion, questions, comments? >> No, I mean I think I
think that makes sense. The um and is the is the the purpose of the inspection to update and confirm what the actual number of seats are there.
>> Well, it's going to up confirm whether or not the system's in failure. >> Yeah. >> Um and from >> from a design perspective or for other any other reasons >> other reasons. >> Okay. Um, and then to confirm, you know, as part of the inspection, count the number of seats versus the design. We
have, our records only indicate that the system is designed for 340 gallons per day, >> right? >> At 35 gallons a seat because of the way that they're permitted um as a food establishment um because they do serve and cook food. >> Yeah. um
that only gives you about nine seats and I think they have somewhere up was I think on their application I think it was 80 or 125 seats they had listed I I don't have in front of me but it was way up there >> so >> I thought it was 50 I mean your letter talks about 50 something right >> really
>> no I have different uh I had different scenarios on one of my letters >> okay >> trying to lay it out and say we could do this or that but >> um in the absence of meeting with you know them declining to come in and meet with us Um it you know I don't think they fully understood what my letter meant.
>> Well yeah um okay >> yeah it does say based on the information on file stop currently has 51 seats. >> Yeah. Well having been in the social club a
few times there's no I mean I'd be surprised that there's 100 seats in there. >> Yeah. >> I mean but I I'm not really sure exactly. >> Well there's one nine for sure. I mean, part of it is that, you know, the the the extent of the the extent of the gap. I mean, >> I think there's outdoor seating in the
good weather on the deck. >> Yeah. >> I I've never personally known. I don't know. So, >> but that's something. >> Well, yeah. I haven't Yeah. >> I I haven't I haven't really been here in the summer. >> This has been going on for a while, right? 2003.
>> Yeah, something like that. There's records that go back >> to 2003. >> Yeah. Like I said, we just stumbled upon it in December when I looked further into the file. >> So, >> um, do we know if they've been pumping regularly?
>> They have not. Well, maybe maybe they have one done a couple two two or three years ago. I I I'll have to check. I don't have the pump records. >> All right. >> Something tells me they're not way out of they're not way out of compliance with that, or else I would have noted it. >> Okay. Um,
>> okay. So it's a um a s system and a situation that needs to be rectified and we need to get their um participation which you have been
trying diligently and have not been successful in the last two months. So um I think I' I'd entertain a motion to establish to confirm the deadline of March 2nd for the title 5 inspection. Um
and um um we could I don't want them on the agenda for March 2nd. Um I think you know I don't know >> is nobody going to be here anyways
because no she indicated that um she wouldn't be back until like I think the 16th of March. >> Well is there nobody else other than her who can represent? It's generally group that must be a group of people. >> You would think, but I I don't know for sure. >> Okay. Well, that's their responsibility
with the Senate representative. Um >> I think that there's a um it feels like that there's this putting off putting off putting off in the hopes that you know it'll get lost again somehow. Um so I I would I would move to keep the March 2nd deadline for the title five
>> and if if that is not met then proceed um referral to general council. >> Got it. >> Okay. So that would be the motion. >> So So moved. >> Okay. Second. >> Motion made and seconded. All in favor?
