Falmouth's wastewater superintendent, Amy A. Lowell, said the contractor, RJV of Canton, changed suppliers, and that put the Teaticket Path peninsula sewer-main work behind schedule. It was due to start April 13 and now will begin no earlier than mid-June, starting on Estrella Lane and working toward Seabrook Drive. Those low-pressure mains go in trenches about five feet deep. Digging on Route 28 between Sandwich Road and Maravista Avenue Extension, where trenches are 17.5 feet deep, continues through May 22. No work will happen on Route 28 from Memorial Day to Labor Day.
The sewer expansion is meant to cut nitrogen reaching the watershed from septic systems. Lowell said the delay does not change the expected finish of Phase 1 in late fall 2027. Phase 1 serves the northeastern Maravista peninsula and the Teaticket peninsula. Later pieces include a lift station on Brick Kiln Road and force mains to the Blacksmith Shop Road treatment plant. Lowell said the estimated cost has fallen by more than $7 million from the $60 million Town Meeting approved in April 2025. A new detour is to be announced. Through traffic is detoured on posted routes, crews work Monday to Thursday, and the town sends Friday updates through its "Notify Me" alerts. The article calls this the Great Pond sewer project.
