==============================================================

Passing along this good news.  The Town and its consultant, Environmental Partners Group, won an award this evening from the American Council of Engineering Companies for the replacement of the water storage tank at the former Medfield State Hospital.

 

The award was presented at their annual Engineering Excellence Awards Gala.  The award notes “Reaching new heights modernizing water infrastructure on an historic site”.

 

Congratulations to EPG and the Medfield Public Works Department.

 

Btw, Medfield’s roads have looked great these past two snow storms.  Kudos to the Department for that too.

 

Thanks

Jeremy
