Plympton Board of Health authorizes press release on favorable 10 Mayflower Street court ruling

PLYMPTON — July 14, 2026 — Plympton Board of Health votes to publicize court win in 10 Mayflower Street case and guides homeowners through a Title V septic sale exemption. The board unanimously authorized a press release announcing what members called a favorable court decision in the ongoing 10 Mayflower Street litigation, with the July 30 appeal deadline the next key date. Separately, the board advised Doug and Ian Reese of 73 Centennial Street that pumping their two-year-old septic system after July 23 and submitting the record promptly would allow the board to issue a letter confirming Title V exemption eligibility ahead of an August 17 property closing. The board also reported that a pump failure at 5 Palmer Street had been repaired, but a May 12 letter to the Select Board seeking a formal response on unresolved town well-permit compliance remained unanswered nearly two months later. The fiscal year 2026 budget closed at $41,805.28 spent against a $61,848.47 appropriation, leaving roughly $20,000 unspent — attributed in part to reduced personnel hours during a cold winter.
