The Cleanup Registry
Reported releases of oil or hazardous material, from the state's public registry. Being listed means a release was reported, not that it remains: the status letters run from active cleanup to closed. An empty list is a registry fact, not a clean bill of environmental health.
No sites listed for this town.
3 of the town's closed cleanups carry a recorded land-use restriction: the deed limits what the property may be used for. Each links to its state file above; ask for the restriction's text before buying one.

No municipal sewer: septic systems, which state law has inspected at the time of sale. Bedrock well yield in town rates "average specific yield".
