Voters at Woodstock’s annual town meeting March 30 unanimously approved spending $75,000 to purchase the source land above a popular spring beside Route 26.
The 3.4-acre parcel will “conserve and protect” the popular spring, ending months of uncertainty when the land went up for sale last fall.
The spring is one of only three in Maine registered as a public drinking water source.
The state requires monthly testing for contaminants and still oversees the spring, along with the other two state-registered springs, because they meet the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s definition of a public water supply, serving an average of 25 or more people a day for at least 60 days a year.
