The Town Around It
Whatever the address, these are Lanesborough's numbers. Each one opens the full record.
Flood, Town-wide
Flood Map Unavailable
The federal flood map for this town has not been digitised, so flood risk here is unmapped; that is not the same as absent. Ask the town's building department before relying on any flood answer.
No federal flood-insurance claims appear under this town's name, which speaks to filed claims only, and unmapped towns rarely carry policies to claim against.
Dams in Town
Berkshire Pond Dam · Tributary to South Branch Hoosic River
Not classified, no hazard potential classification has been published for this dam. This is not a finding that it poses no hazard.
Pontoosuc Lake Dam · West Branch Housatonic River
High hazard potential, a failure would be likely to cause loss of life downstream. Not a statement about the dam's condition or the chance it fails.
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.

Water at the Address
Public water systems in town: LANESBOROUGH FIRE AND WATER DISTRICT, GREYLOCK ESTATES HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION. Service areas have edges; an address outside them is on a well. No municipal sewer: septic systems, which state law has inspected at the time of sale. Bedrock well yield in town rates "average specific yield".
