Dartmouth Septic Concerns Homeowners

Dartmouth residents attended a meeting last night to learn more about a proposal that would require them to upgrade their septic systems. According to CBS 12 in Providence, the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Management is proposing the changes in an effort to control the amount of nitrogen pollution entering waterways. Dartmouth Board of Health Director Christopher Michaud said the proposal could financially impact around 2 thousand residents living in what are described as nitrogen sensitive areas. This could cost homeowners upwards of $50,000 to upgrade their septic systems, not including the cost of maintaining it.
