The Town of Marlborough relies entirely on groundwater for its
drinking water supplies. To ensure a clean, dependable water supply

of fuel storage tanks.
The Building Official and/or Fire Marshal shall require that
fuel storage tanks and components are located above ground in a basement
or a protective structure unless safety, health or site-specific conditions
necessitate the use of an underground fuel-storage system.
