It produces and distributes water to more 2,600 homes, businesses and public buildings in the northwest two-thirds of the town. But neighbors say the panel has ignored their complaints about the water for years. Constance Leccese, chairwoman, assured the crowd something was being done. She said in the short term, LCWD will pay up to $200 for the purchase and installation of a water filter that, she said, should alleviate the problem temporarily. The long range plan she said is construction of a water treatment plant at a cost of up to $5 million that would have to be approved by a majority of the district’s 8,000 Lynnfield customers. “We acknowledge this is a problem,” she said. “That’s the reason we are putting this rebate system in place now.” But many people in the crowd said a filter would need to replaced once a week given the discolored water. “I can tell you a filter won’t last more than a week given the conditions in our homes,” said one man. “Who will pay to replace them every week?” Another resident suggested ratepayers not be charged for water or be given a substantial discount until the problem is solved. But that idea was rejected by Leccese. Kenneth Burnham, water superintendent, said the reason for the discolored water is deposits of iron and magnesium. He insisted the water was “safe” noting that tests submitted to the state confirmed the town’s water meets all the criteria of the federal Safe Water Act. He said the best remedy is a new treatment plant which could take years to win Kernwood Wine & Spirits 12 Salem St. Lynnfield 781-246-8883 “The biggest little liquor store in Lynnfield” We salute all the hard working men and women of this country.

The other option is tying into the Massachusetts Water Resources Authority which provides water and sewer services to 3.1 million people and more than 5,500 industrial users in 61 Greater Boston communities. But the cost would be about $20 million, a tough financial pill for the community to swallow. “We work for you and want to solve this,” Burnham said. But many of the residents were dissatisfied with the answers. “Is there a Plan B if the $4 million is not approved by residents?” asked one woman in Like us on facebook Kernwood Wine and Spirits Open Sunday September 2, 10 a.m. - 7 p.m. and Monday Labor Day September 3, 11 a.m. - 6 p.m. PHOTO COURTESY OF SUSAN MARTIN The photo illustrates the color of the water in Susan Martin’s Orchard Lane home. the crowd. Burnham said there is no alternate plan. For now, he said, they plan a high velocity flush of the system, which should alleviate the problem. But he acknowledged the water pressure has not been sufficient enough to get the job done since many residents are violating the no outside water-use policy. “We are collecting about $800 in fines weekly,” he said. But that response brought groans from the crowd. “Are you serious,” said one man. “How do you sleep at night?” asked another. ESSEX MEDIA GROUP So much more than the Item.

AUGUST 30, 2018 WEEKLYNEWS.NET - 978-532-5880 3 If pigs could fly ... (They did.) BY THOR JOURGENSEN LYNNFIELD WEEKLY EDITOR LYNNFIELD — Mary Valle’s Summer Street School students, and their pigs, are off to a flying start with a new school year underway. That’s right, pigs. Valle teaches her third and fourth grade special needs students that the sky’s the limit when it comes to their potential. She awards classroom accomplishments by breaking out the classroom collection of toy pigs and sending them aloft. “When they do something they didn’t think they could do, we have a ‘pigs fly’ celebration,” she said. Valle is just one of the 300 Lynnfield public school educators who welcomed most of the district’s 2,200 students to a new school year Wednesday. Preschoolers and kindergartners start school on Sept. 4 and School Superintendent Jane Tremblay said she is excited to raise the curtain on a new year. She has already welcomed Dr. Karen Dwyer as Summer Street’s new principal and Roberta Keane as the district’s new student services director. Lynnfield teachers spent part of the summer focusing on teaching methods and Tremblay can’t wait to see We want to hear from you! Send us a letter at editor@weeklynews.net.

A top priority for Tremblay this year, she said, is working on students’ social and emotional development. She said education as a profession has made major strides in the last 20 years on focusing on the emotional component of learning including parental attachment and “school phobia.” Lynn Lyons, author of the book “Anxious Kids, Anxious Parents,” is leading a presentation to parents on Oct. 24, 6:30 p.m., at the Lynnfield Middle School. “Students are getting better at articulating anxiety and fears. It has become increasingly more important,” Tremblay said. Emotional health has a direct bearing on learning, she said, and she values her fellow Lynnfield educators’ ability to listen to students and their parents. Dwyer said getting a clear idea of Summer School parents’ concerns and needs is one of her priorities as she takes the helm of an elementary school with 470 students and a 30-person staff. “I can’t get over the warm Before Get your car looking great this Summer!

She was thrilled to learn Valle is a fellow Tufts University graduate and Dwyer was moved by Valle’s story of how she left a law career to pursue teaching. Valle said she made the career switch after advocating for special education services for her daughter, Jacqueline, who now works with animals. “I had a calling: That was what I was supposed to do,” she said. She has taught for two and a half years in Lynnfield and this is her first year at Summer Street where she is looking forward to encouraging her students’ success and helping their parents’ celebrate their accomplishments and endure their challenges. “I’ve been on the other side of the table with the Kleenex,” she said.
