Water Commission seeks new member
Newly elected Water Commission member Jason Lee has resigned, creating a vacancy for an appointment to a one-year term that will expire in March 2023. To continue serving, that person will then need to stand for election. (Lee reportedly moved out of town, though he did not return Lincoln Squirrel emails seeking comment.) The commissioners’ mission is to ensure that town drinking water meets all applicable federal, state, and local laws and standards, as well as ensuring that the system revenue covers system operations, debt service, and reserves. Letters of interest should be sent to Peggy Elder, Administrative Assistant in the Select Board’s Office, elderp@lincolntown.org. To apply, click here or call the Selectmen’s Office at 781-259-2601.
