Protecting Our Drinking Water
Pepperell Water Division
The Pepperell Water Division recently posted Drinking Water Protection Signs in the neighborhoods that abut the town's water supplies. These signs are part of our Consumer Outreach Program to alert residents within or near our Aquifer Protection Districts that our Groundwater is vulnerable to contaminants.
To maintain a safe water supply, we all need to do our part in protecting it. What we do with or on our land directly affects the quality of our drinking water. There are a number of ways in which all of us can help reduce the possibility of contamination of our water supply.
Protecting Water Quality: What You Can Do..
Examples:
Household Hazardous Waste:
Participate in Household Hazardous Waste Collection Days for used oil, antifreeze, paints and other chemical disposal. Avoid applying hazardous or toxic materials to lawns or other areas of your property. Many of these products move down through the soil and can contaminate groundwater.
Septic Systems:
Never dispose of household hazardous waste to your septic system. Prevent failed septic systems by locating system components, maintaining and inspection your system regularly.
Underground and Aboveground Storage Tanks:
Upgrade fuel oil tanks to include proper containment and safety measures. Consult with the Fire Department before making changes, as any changes must comply with plumbing, building and fire codes. Also, catch costly leaks by inspecting fuel lines and keeping a fuel log.
Car Care:
Check your car for oil leaks and repair leaks quickly. Dispose of waste oil properly, never in drains or on the ground. Recycle oil at a car center or hazardous waste center. When washing your car, direct the rinse water towards an unpaved area and away from storm drains.
Lawn Care and Landscaping:
Apply pesticides and fertilizers minimally and properly.
Pet Waste:
Practice proper pet waste disposal, picking up after your pet and preferably flushing waste or disposing of waste in the garbage.
Your assistance and cooperation in protecting our drinking water supply are greatly appreciated by the Pepperell Water Division. Please contact our office at 978-433-5591 if you have any questions or concerns.
Mandatory Odd/Even Water Ban
Pepperell Water Division
In compliance with the Town of Pepperell Water Rules and Regulations (pg. 12/no. 36); Effective May 1st through October 31st, outdoor watering of any kind is restricted to even numbered days of the month for homes with even address and odd numbered days for homes with an odd numbered address.
This MANDATORY ODD/EVEN BAN is strongly encouraged by MassDEP, and should be effective enough so as to make a full mandatory outside water ban unnecessary except under extreme circumstances. All water customers are strongly encouraged to comply with this odd/even ban to help avoid more extreme measures of water conservation. Should conditions require, this conservation measure will be upgraded to a full outside water ban as declared by the Board of Public Works. Violations of the full ban may result in fines at that time.
2010 Regional Traffic Study
Northern Middlesex Council of Governments
The Northern Middlesex Council of Goverments 2010 Traffic Volume Data Report is an update to the previous traffic count book completed in 2009, and has been prepared in accordance with the Northern Middlesex Council of Governments (NMCOG) continuing traffic counting program. This report is based on traffic counts collected in the Northern Middlesex region between 1999 and 2010. The 2010 program involved the systematic collection of data utilizing automatic traffic recorders in the region's nine member communities: Billerica, Chelmsford, Dracut, Dunstable, Lowell, Pepperell, Tewksbury, Tyngsborough, and Westford. The traffic counting season typically extends from April through November during which time over one hundred (100) counts are collected annually.

Pepperell Planning Board & Emergency Responders

Mercury Recovery Program
Pepperell DPW and Board of Health
As of May 2008, it is illegal to dispose of products containing mercury in the trash, either through the use of the Town's Transfer Station or private collection services. The most common items in which mercury is found are fluorescent light bulbs, thermostats, thermometers, and button-cell batteries.
The DPW and the Board of Health together are implementing a plan to keep mercury out of the environment by providing a way to properly recycle these products. You can recycle (at no charge) fluorescent bulbs at the Transfer Station if you have a use sticker or at Lorden's True Value Hardware on Main Street. Thermostats, thermometers, and button-cell batteries can be recycled at no charge at either the Transfer Station or the Board of Health Office behind Town Hall. For a limited time, if you recycle a mercury thermometer, you can receive a free digital thermometer. If you have larger quantities of mercury that needs disposal, contact the Board of Health and arrangements can be made. Do your part to comply with this new law but more importantly to protect the environment.
For more information, please contact the DPW

Fire Department fundraiser - "EZ View" solar-powered illuminated house numbers
$14 each to benefit Pepperell's S.A.F.E. for kids
As a fundraiser to benefit the S.A.F.E program for Pepperell school children, the Fire Department is offering "EZ View" solar-powered illuminated house numbers for $14 per number (regularly $17.99/number). These house numbers can be affixed to a mailbox or directly to a house or both and could speed emergency response during nighttime hours.

Emergency Medical Services, Police, and Firefighters are trained to respond quickly to help save lives. Unfortunately, most house numbers are virtually impossible to see at night. This puts you and your loved ones in danger.
The law requires clear identification of all homes, but because these laws are generally not enforced, many families fail to ensure that their address is visible at night. Many lives are lost each day simply because emergency help was delayed in reaching them. Don't let this happen to you.
