This blue plastic barrel is sitting at the dam outfall on Barton Road. If you’re the owner, please reclaim it while it’s empty and before someone is tempted to throw it over into the river!

Discount septic pumping, sign up by May 27
Once again, the Lake Boon Association is sponsoring a discount septic pumping program this spring . The program will run beginning the week of June 4th. Deadline for sign up is Sunday May 27th.
Casaceli Trucking will be doing the pumping once again and pricing Price will be $.19 per gallon with a 1000 gallon minimum, resulting in a savings of approximately 27%. Hudson has enacted a $10.00 fee for the pump reports that are required by the State to be sent in. Therefore, Hudson residents will have an extra single $10.00 fee per address.
To register please email name, address and phone number to Dave at lbaseptic@gmail.com or call Dave Siewierski at 978-562-2203.
The program is open to anyone living within the Lake Boon watershed or within a mile of the lake.
Since the inception of this program hundreds of tanks have been pumped at the discount price, saving money for individual homeowners while preserving property values and helping reduce weed growth in the lake.
The more frequently a system is pumped (recommendation every 1 – 2 years depending on family size), the longer it will last and work well. The LBA sponsors this program spring and fall each year, and so far Rich Casaceli continues to give us a lower price than other area companies for an excellent job!
Please spread the word to your neighbors on Lake Boon so we can continue to do everything we can to clean up the lake and keep our septic systems running well.
