The Town of Templeton is pleased to announce an Intermunicipal Agreement (IMA) for the operations of a Salt Brine Production System with the Towns of Winchendon and Hubbardston. This new agreement approved by the Select Board will help improve snow operations for the Town of Templeton as well as for the Towns of Winchendon and Hubbardston. The Agreement can be found here. This IMA will continue in effect through June 30, 2026.

Because of the choice of brine plants Winchendon and Hubbardston want, this will cost Templeton residents $3,300.00 more than needed. They looked at 2 different systems and Winchendon and Hubbardston DPW's went with the system that costs $9,000.00 more, so each town is spending $3,300.00 more than needed.
