All the residences and businesses along Lakeshore Drive and Goodsell Point use on-site septic systems. Many of these systems are aging and/or inadequate and do not conform to modern wastewater standards. Under state laws, these wastewater systems are allowed to operate until wastewater surfaces. Consequently, untreated and poorly treated wastewater is discharged into the Bay.
The Colchester Planning Commission is holding events on May 20 to explore options to address wastewater pollution in Inner Mallets Bay and gather public input. We will have a "Walk and Talk" meeting starting at the Bayside Activity Center in Upper Bayside Park at 4:00 PM on May 20, and a Public Forum at 7:00 PM May 20th in the Colchester High School Cafeteria.
If you can't make it and want more information, get involved online at tinyurl.com/ColchesterMBI. Complete our brief survey and join us over on PlaceSpeak to begin the discussion for our pollution solutions!
