Town of Weston Town of Weston 2011 Annual Town Report REPORTS OF THE TOWN OFFICERS OF WESTON, MASSACHUSETTS FOR THE YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 2011 www.weston.org Publication of the Annual Report is funded by a gift from the Waldo Noyes Trust Fund of the Weston Public Library. Cover Photos: Scenes from Weston. Photos by Barbara Elmes Green Communities Designation logo courtesy of the Massachusetts Department of Energy Resources Many of the photographs found within this year’s annual report were supplied by the committees and departments for their reports. The additional photographs that wonderfully capture the Town of Weston were supplied by: Council on Aging -- 97 Gloria Cole -- 153 Barbara Elmes – 5, 15, 37, 68, 74, 82, 87, 91, 94, 196 Michele Grzenda – 38, 62 Weston PTO – 108, 120 Weston Public Schools – 23, 121 Police Chief Steven Shaw -- 69 William O’Neil -- 93 THE GREEN REPORT This year’s annual report dovetails with Weston’s designation as a Green Community by the Massachusetts Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs. With this designation the Town of Weston is considered an energy leader in Massachusetts and because of the Commonwealth’s landmark Green Communities Act, the state of Massachusetts is leading the nation in energy efficiency. The Town’s achievement is the result of the cooperative efforts across Town departments and committees and the voters of Weston during Annual Town Meeting. This success is shared with the many other departments and committees whose work helps protect our environment. The leaf design is found throughout the report next to those departments and committees’ 2011 accomplishments. In the spirit of all of these green initiatives, accomplishments and environmental work across Town, the production of the Annual Town Report was taken into consideration and is a little greener. The number of print copies was reduced, recycled paper was used, and it was printed with environmentally-friendly water-based inks. The printing company is certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), recycles all of its paper waste, uses only Green Seal Certified cleaning products, and is 100 percent wind-powered.

  • Waterworks System Improvements
    Waterworks System Improvements Wachusett Reservoir Integrated Water Supply Improvement Program MWRA’s Integrated Water Supply Improvement Program is an initiative consisting of a series of projects to protect reservoir watersheds, build new water treatment and transmission facilities, upgrade distribution storage and MWRA and community pipelines and interim improvements to the Metropolitan Tunnel system redundancy. The program improves each aspect of the water system from the watersheds to the consumer to ensure that high quality water reliably reaches MWRA customers’ taps. The program began in 1995 with the initial components which were completed by 2005 and the program remains active as the scope was expanded to continue to improve the water system. The main program components are as follows: Watershed Protection The watershed areas around Quabbin and Wachusett Reservoirs are pristine areas with 85% of the land covered in forest or wetlands and about 75% protected from development by direct ownership or development restrictions. MWRA works in partnership with the Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) to manage and protect the watersheds. MWRA also finances all the operating and capital expenses for the watershed activities of DCR and on‐going land acquisition activities. MetroWest Water Supply Tunnel The 17‐mile‐long 14‐foot diameter tunnel connects the new Carroll Water Treatment Plant at Walnut Hill in Marlborough to the greater Boston area. It is now working in parallel with the rehabilitated Hultman Aqueduct to move water into the metropolitan Boston area. Construction began on the tunnel in 1996 and the completed tunnel was placed in service in October 2003. Carroll Water Treatment Plant The water treatment plant in Marlborough began operating in July 2005 and it has a maximum day capacity of 405 million gallons per day.

  • Report of the Board of Appeals
    LAND USE, PLANNING AND ZONING REPORT OF THE BOARD OF APPEALS The Board of Appeals hears and decides on applications for variances from zoning restrictions; findings (on additions or changes for preexisting, nonconforming properties); special permits for exceptional uses specified in the Zoning By Law; and comprehensive permits (under the “Anti- Snob Zoning” or Low and Moderate Income Housing Act of 1969). These cases total about 70 to 80 annually. Some are readily decided, but a few require multiple hearings and participation with other boards and committees. While zoning restrictions have protected the town from haphazard overdevelopment and have preserved a level of residential privacy, they may pose hardships to owners wishing to improve or to use their properties in a reasonable way. Hence the Board might serve as a “relief valve” in some such cases. Zoning in Weston began in 1928 and has been strengthened throughout subsequent years in light of new concerns and pressures. Since there is no town sewage, each property must have its own septic system, which incidentally requires and legally justifies larger lots and setbacks. However, our unique desirability and soaring property values – due not only to zoning, but also to a loca- tion convenient to the great facilities of a metropolitan area that draws talented people, which in turn leads to superior schools, involved citizenry and responsible local government – create spe- cial problems: 1. Building sites (with or without existing houses thereon) have become so valuable that new houses (often as replacements on the sites) are inevitably very large in view of the expensive land component.

  • Massdot Is Committed to Improving the Quality of Stormwater Runoff from Its Highways
    MassDOT is committed to improving the quality of stormwater runoff from its highways. Through the “Impaired Waters Program,” MassDOT addresses stormwater runoff from its roadways draining to impaired water bodies as part of compliance with the NPDES Phase II Small MS4 General Permit. Stormwater best management practices (BMPs) are implemented to the maximum extent practicable through two methods: retrofit projects and programmed projects. Retrofit projects are tracked within the MassDOT Impaired Waters Program Database, while programmed projects are tracked through this Water Quality Data Form (WQDF). The goal of the WQDF is to raise awareness of the necessity to implement stormwater BMPs during programmed projects and to capture information about stormwater BMPs that are implemented. There are two WQDFs required as part of each programmed project. One is specific to the 25% design stage, and the other is specific to the 75% design stage. Please download the latest version of the WQDF from the MassDOT website. Please fill out the tab titled “75% Design Form,” and check the box at the bottom of the form to ensure that all questions have been answered adequately. Please submit this form in Excel format only and name your file with the convention WQDF25_projectnumber.xlsm. Submit the form to your MassDOT project manager as part of the project's electronic submittal. An interactive web map is available to aid in filling out the WQDF. It is available at http://mass.gov/massdot/map/wqdf. If MassDOT has requested that the form be revised and resubmitted, resubmit the form using the naming convention WQDF75_projectnumber_rev.xlsm.

  • Metrowest Water Supply Tunnel (604)
    MetroWest Water Supply Tunnel (604) Project Purpose and Benefits 6 Contributes to improved public health 6 Fulfills a regulatory requirement 6 Extends current asset life 6 Improves system operability and reliability To provide transmission redundancy for the Hultman Aqueduct ensuring reliable water delivery and providing sufficient hydraulic capacity to support the new Walnut Hill Water Treatment Plant and covered storage distribution facilities. This project consists of construction of a 17.6 mile deep rock tunnel from Shaft D in Marlborough to Shaft 5 of the City Tunnel in Weston, and to Shaft W, also in Weston, as well as the construction of a covered storage facility at Loring Road in Weston. Also includes construction of shafts and valve chambers for connections of Shaft 4 in Southborough and to the Norumbega Covered Storage facility. Project History and Background Provision of adequate transmission capacity is a critical component of MWRA’s Integrated Water Supply Improvement Program. MWRA's water delivery depends on a system of tunnels and aqueducts that transport water from the Quabbin and Wachusett Reservoirs to the distribution reservoirs in western metropolitan Boston. The existing tunnels and aqueducts are deficient in several respects. First, the transmission system is unable to supply sufficient hydraulic capacity during peak flow periods, leading to pressure deficiencies in all high service areas during the summer months. Second, key sections of the transmission system, such as the Hultman Aqueduct and the Southborough Tunnel, rely on a single conduit. In the event of failure of any of the major transmission sections, the remaining waterworks system could not meet the demand for water.
