Williamstown Census Mailed to Residents

Print Story | Email Story
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — The Williamstown 2025 Annual Census has been mailed to all Williamstown residents. 
 
The census (Annual Street Listing) is a requirement per Massachusetts General Law, and it is important that all residents return them to the Town Clerk's office promptly. Failure to respond to the census will result in removal from the active voting list and may result in removal from the voter registration rolls.
 
Residents should not use the census form for the purpose of voter registration. Any resident who is not registered to vote may register by going to the Secretary of State's website: https://www.sec.state.ma.us/OVR/ or by mailing or dropping off a voter registration form to the Town Clerk's Office (31 North St.). 
 
You can also register to vote in person at The Town Clerk's Office. Voter registration forms can be found on the Secretary of State's website as well: https://www.sec.state.ma.us/divisions/elections/voter-resources/registering-to-vote.htm.
 
Parents of college students or members of the military who are registered voters in Williamstown should be aware that deleting those children from their census form will remove them from the active voters list. Also, households that have dependent children in them but are not listed on your census form should add their children to the form and complete the information that pertains to each child. Information regarding the children is not a public record and is used only by the schools for enrollment purposes.
 
All forms should either be mailed back in the enclosed return envelope or dropped off at Town Hall. You can use the Town's drop box, located outside the front door of Town Hall or come into the office. Anyone who does not receive their census form in the mail within the next three weeks or anyone who has questions pertaining to the form should call Town Clerk, Nicole E. Beverly at 458-3500 Ext. 101.

Concerns Over PFAS Spark Sewage Debate in Williamstown

By Stephen DravisiBerkshires Staff

The composting facility at the intermunicipal wastewater plant is operating at about two-thirds capacity. 
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — Forever chemicals are the source of a protracted debate for the Select Board.
 
Out of 15 fiscal articles on the warrant for the annual town meeting in May, the board last Monday voted to recommend passage of 14.
 
It delayed its decision on Article 5, which concerns the budget for the sewer department, more specifically the town's share of operating costs for the Hoosac Water Quality District.
 
Some members of the community, including a member of the Select Board, say the district is choosing a course of action that is at odds with the environmental principles that the town espouses.
 
The HWQD is a 55-year-old intermunicipal entity shared by Williamstown and the city of North Adams.
 
Residents of both communities on public sewer service send their wastewater to a treatment facility in Williamstown off Simonds Road (Route 7).
 
The facility cleans and treats the wastewater and discharges it into the nearby Hoosic River.
