Site Plan Review Public Hearing for Rehabilitation Hospital at Lakeshore Center

Agenda will be shared when available
WATER IMPACT STATEMENT Below:
Concerns include:
Additional strain to Bridgewater's Water and Sewer resources and infrastructure
Lakeshore Center's water consumption is over 59,000 gallons per day!
The WATER IMPACT STATEMENT 2/13/26 includes the following statements:
These results indicate that without increasing its current supply capacity, the Town cannot meet its MDD. (maximum day demand)
Any additional demands increase both the likelihood and severity of experiencing supply deficits in subsequent summers.
Apex’s supply and demand analysis indicates that the Town does not have adequate supply capacity to meet current demands at this time.
Apex recommends that the Town consider a moratorium on future development if it is unable to achieve and maintain a surplus in available water system capacity
