From the Mashpee Enterprise · December 9, 2022 · By Alex Megerle
Mashpee held a groundbreaking ceremony on the morning of Thursday, December 8, 2022, for its new wastewater treatment plant. The plant is going up next to the town transfer station on Asher's Path East and belongs to the first phase of Mashpee's townwide sewer project. Attendees included Select Board chair David W. Weeden, board member Michaela A. Wyman-Colombo, Town Manager Rodney C. Collins, Sewer Commission members and F. Thomas Fudala, the former Sewer Commission chair and founder. Afterward Weeden thanked Andrew R. Gottlieb of the Association to Preserve Cape Cod, the Mashpee Clean Waters group (including co-founder Mary A. Oleksak) and Mashpee residents. He said the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe strongly supports the project, which he called long overdue.
The article covers Mashpee's sewer project in general. Mashpee is one of the three towns that share the Waquoit Bay watershed, and how the town handles its wastewater is part of the larger Cape-wide effort to cut nitrogen from septic systems. The story is a news report on the ceremony.
