Plympton Board of Health clears KKD's shake machine, approves two septic repairs

PLYMPTON — September 23, 2025 — Plympton Board of Health clears a replacement shake machine at KKD's Express and logs 115 animals removed from a Lake Street property. At its September 23 meeting, the board authorized KKD's facility manager Joe Revetto to resume using a new shake machine after three consecutive negative independent tests, with weekly testing required for 60 days. Board agent Kevin Moran, who toured 34 Lake Street with Lieutenant Hoffman following an MSPCA warrant execution, said he "did not see anything that was particularly out of order as far as the Board of Health is concerned." The board approved septic repair applications 1370 and 1371, the latter with two variances, and added 36 Parsonage Road and 13 Crescent Street to its Title 5 failure list. A church subject to a rat infestation order to correct provided only partial documentation by its September 23 deadline, and board staff will follow up on a missing dumpster pickup schedule and a required protocol from tenant Caterpillar Daycare. The board distributed draft fee schedule and supplemental Title 5 regulation revisions for review ahead of its October 14 meeting, with proposed changes including raising the tobacco permit fee from roughly $5-$10 to $50 and creating a new commercial septic plan review fee.
