Dover Board of Health issues tobacco enforcement and advances well regulations. The Board unanimously suspended Dover Market's tobacco sales license for one day effective June 9 following a compliance check by Health Director Jason Belmonte that found the store sold cigarettes without checking ID, while Dover Mobil received a written warning after its cashier missed the new Nicotine-Free Generation age marker. In regulatory work, the Board agreed to prioritize updating well water regulations to require large-scale developments, including 40B affordable housing, to demonstrate adequate water supply without harming neighboring wells, and to add PFAS and lead testing to align with state guidance.
