Your feedback helps us prioritize what to improve next.
The owner of 47 New Siasconset Street must address the septic-system issues identified in an enforcement order; the requested exemption from an upgrade was denied. The board continued hearings on proposed Hummock Pond watershed and wellhead-protection regulations rather than adopting them. It also approved less frequent, quarterly testing for the 6 and 6A Washington Avenue system because reported performance has been consistently strong.
