Regulation Notice - Jackie’s Law

 This Public Safety regulation is designed

an unattended trench and suffering an injury
or fatality.  This applies to all construction-related trenches on public ways, public property or
private property.
A trench is defined as a subsurface excavation greater that 3’ in depth and 15’ or less wide. 
A permit will be required prior to excavation of all
regulated trenches.
All regulated trenches must be attended, covered, barricaded or backfilled.

Further information is available at

Copies of the law are available in the
Selectmen’s office and the
Building Inspector’s office.
