From the Cape Cod Commission · April 30, 2026
The Cape Cod and Islands Water Protection Fund’s Management Board voted on April 29, 2026, to commit $53,107,500 in subsidies to ten wastewater projects in Barnstable, Dennis, Eastham, Mashpee and Yarmouth. The awards are contingent 25 percent commitments for projects on MassDEP’s 2026 Clean Water State Revolving Fund Intended Use Plan, so they depend on towns financing the work through the state loan program. With this round, the fund’s commitments since 2018 top $360 million.
The board also amended the fund’s rules to clarify when newly joining communities become eligible, a step meant to accommodate potential members from Dukes and Nantucket counties. The fund is paid for by a 2.75 percent excise on hotel and short-term rental stays. The Cape Cod Commission posts the full award list on its fund webpage.
