Wastewater Planning and Projects | What to Expect at Town Meeting
Thursday, 16 April, 2026
In this episode of Orleans: Behind the Scenes, we sit down with Rich Waldo to walk through upcoming wastewater-related items that will be before voters at Town Meeting.The conversation focuses on two key areas: continuing the planning and design work needed to move future phases of the Town’s Comprehensive Wastewater Management Plan forward and ensuring that a previously approved sewer project for the Lakes and Ponds area can proceed as expected if construction costs come in higher than originally estimated.Listeners will hear why these investments are necessary, how the Town is approaching wastewater as a long-term, phased effort, and what steps are being taken to manage and offset costs through low-interest financing and outside funding sources.If you’re looking to better understand what’s ahead and how these decisions fit into the bigger picture of protecting Orleans’ water quality, this episode offers a clear and accessible overview.Show notes:John Nelson, Sewer Program Coordinator, Contact Information: jnelson@orleansma.gov
