Good morning, Hopkinton! Welcome to the daily update we call Hopkinton Today — a quick recap of yesterday’s news, highlights of what’s on tap, and a photo of the day.

The Conservation Commission at its meeting Tuesday night unanimously approved the notice of intent for the proposed Charleswood Elementary School after the development team presented additional details regarding guidelines for the contractor.

Ahead of an important Board of Appeals meeting Wednesday night, residents were puzzled at the disappearance of lawn signs opposing a proposed gas station in town.

The Water Department announced Wednesday that the water discoloration that started Tuesday is expected to continue for “a few days” while the department works to flush hydrants.

This week’s Police Log features two arrests, along with reports of an erratic driver watching TV on their phone, kids prank-calling a store and an individual locked in Hopkinton State Park.

The Hopkinton Area Land Trust will hold its annual meeting on Wednesday, Oct. 16, from 7-8 p.m. at The Sanctuary, 249 Wood Street, Woodville.

Town meetings tonight include the School Committee (7) and the Open Space Preservation Commission (7).
