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.

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 LOCATION AID · 123 AVENUE A · state file 1-0013687 (TIER1D)
PARCEL MAP 44 LOT 61 · CENTER STREET · state file 1-0017905 (TIER1D)
FIRST STREET PARKING LOT · 16 1ST ST · state file 1-0021968 (TIER1D)

2 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.

Water at the Address

Public water systems in town: TURNERS FALLS WATER DEPT, MONTAGUE CENTER WATER DISTRICT. Service areas have edges; an address outside them is on a well. Sewer treatment exists (MONTAGUE SEWER); beyond its lines, septic. Bedrock well yield in town rates "average specific yield".
