• Unanimously approved amendments to Board of Health regulations pertaining to the Madaket and Nantucket Harbor Watershed Protection Districts. The amendments extend the deadline for Madaket septic system inspections for 23 months and for one year in the town district. "We are on the right track, we are doing the right thing and I am comfortable with what we are going to add on to the Madaket Harborshed District," said Health Inspector Richard Ray, explaining that his staff is too small to be able to complete inspections within the original deadline of Dec. 14. "We seem to be seeing a lot of cooperation in Madaket where many systems have an effect on Hither Creek." Ray noted that of 477 Madaket systems, 24 have failed so far and 15 passed, not counting the dozen that were to be examined last Wednesday. In the Nantucket district, 239 of 254 have passed inspection.
