The Department of Conservation and Recreation is reopening the Quabbin Reservoir to private recreational boats, provided they pass inspection. DCR and the Massachusetts Water Resources Authority have agreed to reopen all three Quabbin Reservoir fishing areas Monday at 6 a.m. for private boats that have gone through an approved decontamination process and have intact seals. The reservoir has been closed to private boats out of concern over the possible spread of invasive Zebra mussels to the reservoir, which is the primary water supply for more than 2.5 million people. The boat decontamination program will take place in Belchertown and in Orange.

State Police have charged the driver they say caused the rollover of an oil tanker truck on Interstate 95 in Newburyport on July 6, injuring 10 people and spilling several thousand gallons of gasoline into the Merrimack River. Sulma Aguilar, 32, of Everett, was charged yesterday with operating to endanger and a marked lanes violation, State Police said. Aguilar may face more charges, police said. Aguilar was traveling on I-95 north in Newburyport when she collided with an oil tanker truck in the adjacent lane that was carrying 10,000 gallons of gasoline, police said. The collision caused the tanker driver to brake and the truck roll onto its side, blocking all lanes of traffic. Two other cars crashed into it.

A boil order issued to residents of Milford remains in effect after additional testing of the town’s water supply came back positive for coliform bacteria. The test results received Thursday were based on testing Wednesday. Milford Water Co. officials had hoped that increasing the amount of chlorine in the water and taking a compromised water storage tank offline would eliminate the bacteria source. The boil order was issued last weekend based on testing done Aug. 5. Bottled water is being made available at the high school. (AP)

The family of a Norwich woman who died five days after ovarian surgery has received $1 million from the insurance company of two doctors sued for medical malpractice. The lawyer for Barbara Beaudoin’s estate said her family was paid last week. The money is from a settlement of her relatives’ lawsuit against doctors Margarita Olivares and Harold Bodin, both affiliated with the Norwich OB-GYN Group. Beaudoin died in July 2006 at William W. Backus Hospital in Norwich. She was 60. Court documents say Olivares tore Beaudoin’s colon during the surgery. (AP)

Residents of a tent city in East Providence have agreed to leave their spot under an Interstate 195 bridge in 3 1/2 weeks, but they are not happy about it. In the agreement reached with the state yesterday, the homeless residents of Camp Runamuck said they will move by noon Sept. 8. In return, the state agreed to help them sign up for social services such as subsidized housing, food stamps, and disability benefits if they are eligible. Some residents complained that the state suggested they move to a campground in Narragansett, which is not near social services and would have cost them $16 per night per tent. (AP)
