We have 2 Cisterns in our town (very few hydrants in town). 1 is town owned, the other is privately owned. We are in the process of getting the town tank replaced because it leaks bad. I am curious 1. Does anyone have a town bylaw requiring cisterns in non-hydrant areas that puts a housing development in? 2. Do you have any regulations for privately owned cisterns? The private system we have in town has probably not been touched for MANY years. Because it's on private property I want to depend on it, but I don't want to risk causing any damage to it and being responsible for it. I plan to have the association get it maintained and provide documentation about the reliability of it. I am working close with my building inspector on both of these. Thank you for any input on this!!!

We recently received an inquiry from our school superintendent regarding whether or not modifications have or will be considered regarding mandated school fire drills, in this new age of maintaining social distancing. Just wondering if there has being any discussion at the higher levels on the required number of drills going forward, and maintaining the new social distancing requirements in conjunction with conducting adequate and acceptable emergency evacuation drill procedures.
