Warrant Article of the Day

North Andover continues to be a laboratory for what Town Meeting may be like in the future.  Once again we are testing whether deliberative results from Town Meeting represent the opinion of the citizenry at large.  We are conducting a straw poll inviting citizens to state their opinion on each article whether or not they attend Town Meeting. The straw poll will be live through Town Meeting until its adjournment.  Comparative results will be published post the adjournment of the meeting.  The votes in this straw poll will not count but merely be an expression of opinion of the people who choose to make that opinion known. Completing this is not a substitute for attending Town Meeting as all deliberative benefits and power is reserved for those at the meeting.  You are invited to do both – express your opinion here AND come to Annual Town Meeting on June 15th at 6PM on the North Andover High School football field.   Your identity will only be used for voter validation. Only straw poll results from North Andover Voters will be counted. All results are anonymous and those anonymized result totals will be shared after Town Meeting.

We are dedicated to producing drinking water that meets and surpasses all state and federal standards. It is always our utmost importance that we are delivering the highest quality drinking water to you. As new challenges to drinking water safety emerge, we remain vigilant in meeting the goals of source water protection, water conservation, and community education while continuing to serve the needs of all our water users. In our efforts to become more sustainable, this and all future water will be available on the town’s website for review. A paper copy will be sent to anyone requesting one. If you would like a printed copy, or if you have any questions or comments regarding this report, please email Glen Alt, Superintendent, at galt@northandoverma.gov or call us at (978) 688-9574.
