I have an underground oil tank. How do I prevent leaks and / or deal with spills?

If you have an underground storage tank for home heating oil, have it tested to ensure it is not leaking through the soil and into the groundwater. Visit the DEP website below for additional tips on avoiding a heating oil leak or spill.

If you have an oil spill call the Georgetown Fire Department (978 352-5757) and the Conservation Commission (978 352-5712) immediately. The DEP website also gives a complete guide to the clean-up process.
