MIDDLEBORO — It was previously reported that people living at seasonal homes on the King’s Way portion of the Wood’s Pond campgrounds have been there illegally year-round.
Many of these cottage-style units in this part of Woods Pond are restricted to seasonal use from April 16 to Oct. 10.
The Middleboro Board of Selectmen announced earlier this week that the town’s health officer will work with the police department to find out which of the homes are now occupied and evict the tenants.
Most of the campgrounds consist of shared communal wells and septic systems, both of which aren’t designed and sustainable for year-round use. There is specuation that this year-round use has contributed to some recent failings of septic systems, as well as concern for possible contamination of wells.
