House Painting for Middleton homes.
Middleton's Chapter 204 names paints, varnishes and solvents as pollutants and bans them from storm drains and watercourses. With a quarter of the town in wetland and every drain heading for the Ipswich River, rinse water goes in a bucket and chips land on drop cloths.
Prep often starts with a wash. If the house is on town water, we read the Water Division's posted level first; if it's on a private well, the town says its irrigation bylaw doesn't apply. In cold months, Chapter 204 also bars runoff that could freeze on the street.
Middleton rules that matter for house painting.
Stormwater bylaw: paint and the 600-foot line
Chapter 204 lists paints, varnishes and solvents as pollutants and bans dumping them into storm drains or a watercourse. Decks, patios and sheds on a lot with a house are exempt from a stormwater permit only while total new impervious surface since the bylaw stays under 600 square feet. [1][2][3]
One statewide building code. Massachusetts uses a single building code for every town: 780 CMR, now in its tenth edition. Your local building department enforces it and issues the permits. source
Dig Safe before digging. State law requires notice to Dig Safe at least 72 hours before digging, not counting weekends and legal holidays. That includes holes for deck footings. Call 811. source

House Painting questions from Middleton
It depends on your water. Homes on town water follow the level the Water Division posts, and it says well users aren't restricted by the irrigation bylaw. We check before we wash, or hand-wash if needed.
