Announcements:
Mystic River Watershed Association water quality samples found that Spy Pond has a microcystis (bluegreen) algae bloom and therefore as of 9/6/07, there is public health advisory against swimming, wading and dog/pet bathing. The situation should remain in effect until either the temperature drops to kill the algae or rains dilute the toxins to safer levels.
Preliminary FEMA flood maps were sent to Board of Selectmen, and are being copied for distribution to various Town departments for review.
Public meetings will be held to ask questions on the draft: our closest will be at the Belmont Town Hall, 455 Concord Ave, Belmont, on November 7, Wed., 7-9pm.
