Planning Board - Oct 20, 2026
Board members flagged the town's wastewater treatment plant running over allotted capacity and last summer's water shortages as bedroom counts climb house by house. The Moses approval requires a sewer agreement, and the Egan private line's capacity is a live constraint.
Planning Board - Oct 1, 2026
Survey respondents ranked water and sewer capacity as the town's top challenge (56%) ahead of affordability. Peak seasonal demand forces the town to build infrastructure sized for summer, straining budgets year-round.

Sewer Policy Committee - Jun 10, 2026
Several homeowners want to split their lots and hook a second house onto town sewer, which current policy blocks. The committee is weighing each case against the town's sewer capacity, which sits at 82.6% of available flow — under the 85% trigger. Decisions here shape how many new homes can connect and whether attainable housing gets priority.
