Is the Town of Concord s water supply threatened with contamination from the Starmet site?
According to all of the present data, Town water supplies are not threatened at this time. One Town well, the Second Division Well, is located about half a mile away from Starmet. The Concord Water Department tests this well annually for radioactivity. Also, the contaminated groundwater at Starmet appears to be flowing away from the Second Division Well toward the Assabet River. However, the Assabet River flows into the Concord River, which is the sole source of drinking water for the Town of Billerica.
