At a glance

What: Economic Development Permit 26-4 to add function hall use at a MacMillan Wharf property by increasing its assigned Title 5 sewer flow.
Decision (August 24): 5-0 to approve with conditions. The agenda described 1,607 additional gallons for a total of 2,317 gallons; the motion text says 1,617.

The applicant must consult Mass DEP on the change in use and report compliance status to Town staff.
A licensed plumber must confirm the private grinder pump can handle the added flow.
If used year-round, the piping below the pier must be heat traced and insulated to the connection to the Town force main.
If not heat traced and insulated, the sewer service must be shut off at the existing below-pier isolation valve, with piping drained and filled with RV-safe antifreeze between November and March, to protect the private piping from the Harbormaster/Pier pump station.
