The Massachusetts Clean Water Trust State Revolving Fund has awarded Falmouth $41,296,305 for phase one of the Great Pond Sewer Expansion Project, as reported February 6, 2026. The money is a loan at 0% interest. Wastewater Superintendent Amy A. Lowell said the town expects 25% of it to be forgiven through the Cape and Island Water Protection Fund, which voted on April 30, 2025 to award Falmouth $12.5 million. The sewer area covers the northeastern corner of the Maravista peninsula and the Teaticket peninsula. It also includes a lift station on Brick Kiln Road and pipes carrying wastewater to the treatment plant on Blacksmith Shop Road.
Lowell said construction will probably start in February or March and take 21 months, finishing in fall 2027. Two construction contracts have been awarded: $16,702,282 to CC Construction and $16,941,390 to RJV. With other costs, the project is now estimated at $52,456,722. The project is described as the Great Pond expansion; it matters here mainly as part of Falmouth's wider sewer program and how it is being paid for.
