 It has been the BPC’s #1 goal to strive for a town-wide wastewater management plan. Towards that end, we filed a citizens petition to include an article on the warrant for the 2025 Annual Town Meeting requesting $300K to fund a Comprehensive Wastewater Management Plan (CWMP). Thanks to our concerned voting members and friends, the CWMP petition appears as Article #19 on the warrant. However, the Select Board voted unanimously not to support the CWMP article based on funding concerns and duplication of effort with the Town’s ongoing work to update its Integrated Water Resource Management Plan (IWRMP).
The good news is that the Town along with support from the Water Resource Task Force came back to the BPC with an offer to incorporate many critical components of the CWMP into its IWRMP along with additional funding to support that work. This action was done with the understanding that if the BPC is satisfied with the proposed additions, we will in turn move to indefinitely postpone the CWMP funding article at the Annual Town Meeting on May 5. After careful review, the BPC Board of Directors did, in fact, vote unanimously to accept the Select Board’s proposal. Please read this detailed summary of the updates so that you will be fully informed before the Annual Town Meeting on May 5. Click here to read the updated outline for the IWRMP. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to email us at [email protected]. For more information, please consider attending one of the BPC’s upcoming information sessions to learn about all the articles on the warrant related to water resources.
