Eastham has long been addressing nitrogen pollution from septic systems, which is polluting local water bodies. Due to lawsuits enforcing the Clean Water Act, all Cape Cod towns, are subject to water quality management plans requiring nitrogen reduction in sensitive areas.
The Select Board scheduled a Special Town Meeting on 6/23/2025 to discuss and decide on this single issue. To participate in the SRF Program, the State needs the Town to authorize the project by June 30, 2025.
