Residents should expect more discussion before any sewer expansion moves forward. Officials said water and wastewater capacity are major limits for potential development near 177 Old Derby Street, while a new sewer district may be needed for World's End and could require special legislation. The Health Department reported one failed Title 5 septic inspection in Hingham and no known septic failures leaking into the harbor.
