A citizens' forum entitled "No Time to Waste" will take place on October 26th at 7pm at the Main Public Library in Falmouth, MA. The meeting is a follow-on to the town's wastewater management planning forum held at Morse Pond School last month.
This citizens' forum is organized in response to many questions about environmental/ecological issues and fiscal costs of various wastewater management systems. The purpose of this follow-on forum is to broaden the discussion and present additional information on wastewater management options that may provide faster, better and more cost effective ways of restoring the health of our estuaries and environments.
The forum will begin with an introduction and several 5-minute presentations that provide basic overviews on:
* Sources of nitrogen into estuaries
* Wastewater treatment options
* Estuary management approaches
* Customized residential wastewater planning
* Costs and scheduling
* Proposed Falmouth warrant articles
After the overview presentations there will be an open discussion and all are welcome to participate. A number of technical experts will be available to answer questions.
We urge you to participate in this discussion on this most important issue facing Falmouth and the Cape - improving the health of our waters at a cost that is affordable for all, now and in the future.
This event is cosponsored by Cape and Islands Self Reliance, Clean Water Action, Coalition for Alternative Wastewater Treatment, Falmouth Climate Action Team (FCAT), GreenCape, The Green Center, Sierra Club Cape Cod & Islands Group.
