Volunteer sought for Water Commission vacancy

The Town of Lincoln is seeking applicants to fill a vacancy on the Water Commission to fill out the remainder of Ruth Anne Hendrickson’s term that will expire in March 2023. To continue serving after that, the person appointed will then need to stand for election. At that time, there will be a second opening as well, since commission member Michelle Barnes does not plan to run for reelection.

The Water Commission’s job is to ensure that the town’s 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. For more information, please visit their web page. Letters of interest should be sent to Peggy Elder, administrative assistant in the Select Board’s Office, elderp@lincolntown.org, or call the Select Board’s Office at 781-259-2601.
