Did you know?? If you live in Gray’s wellhead protection zones and are replacing your oil tank or installing a new one, State law requires a double wall tank or secondary containment installed by licensed technicians. This law does not require the replacement of a perfectly good tank. It only applies to new or replacement situations.
Am I in the wellhead zones?? Wellhead zones cover parts of Shaker Road, Gray Park, Lewiston Road, Colley Hill Road, Wayne Avenue, Rockwood Terrace, Wild Acres Road, and most of Maplewood Trailer Park. There is a map in the Assessors Office showing the location of all zones including the wellhead. The Code Enforcement Officer should be able to help pinpoint if your specific property is located in the wellhead.
The following link provides more information about the Law and some double wall tank options.
