Brewster Ponds Summit 2022 Engages Town Leaders and Citizens

​The Brewster Ponds Summit 2022 was held on Friday, June 17th from 9AM - 12 Noon at the Brewster Baptist Church.  The summit focused on the impact of septic system nutrient loading to groundwater and ponds. Leaders and administrators from the town’s Select Board, Department of Natural Resources, Department of Public Works, Health Department, Conservation, Planning and Water Departments were all in attendance as five expert panelists provided an overview of how title 5 septic systems work and the fact they they provide little nutrient reduction as wastewater flow out of septic system leach fields into groundwater and ponds. More than 90 people attended in person. Our media partners at Lower Cape TV kindly live streamed the event through the town of Brewster Facebook page, where more than 90 additional people watched.  LCTV recorded the full meeting which is available by clicking here.
