North Sherborn Water and Sewer District Commission · Meeting of September 16, 2026
The North Sherborn Water and Sewer District Commission addressed critical startup funding and system transfer questions for a planned water-sewer system serving a residential development. Joshua Gould expressed concern that the District could assume operating responsibility before sufficient customer connections generated revenue to cover initial expenses. Commission member Matthew DiMartino reported investigating engineering firms, with review focus narrowed to complex elements.
Members discussed whether accepting infrastructure should be tied to development milestones and whether existing customers could remain on current systems during construction. The Commission agreed to review plans for a future water-main extension to Meadowbrook Road. The next meeting was tentatively scheduled for October 14, 2026.
