Massachusetts residents are expressing concerns about the cost, feasibility and fairness ofthat could require thousands of homeowners to replace or upgrade their septic systems in the next five years.
"I'm not somebody that has a McMansion. I've got a three-bedroom home that's been in my family for a bazillion years," said Joan Hutchings, who owns a house in North Truro and replaced her septic system in 2022 for about $25,000."The town of Truro required me to do this. I did it. And now the state's going to have me do something else? I don't know, I might just put an outhouse out there.
Several speakers said the state should institute a program like MassSave to incentivize homeowners to update their systems. Others suggested that the harbors and inlets of Cape Cod were a state treasure, so the state, not individual homeowners, should pay to clean them up. Other speakers suggested the drastic measures proposed by the state may not have a significant impact on water quality. While the Environmental Protection Agency estimates thaton Cape Cod stems from traditional septic systems, some dispute that number, pointing to stormwater and agricultural runoff as big contributors.
