10. If I have recently installed a new Title 5 septic system, or will be doing so in the near term, will I still have to connect to sewer service and pay the Sewer Assessment?

All properties within the Phase 1 sewer area will be required to connect to sewer service and pay the sewer assessment.

The Board of Health and Department of Public Works are working closely with property owners to avoid situations where new Title 5 systems are installed in areas that will be receiving sewer service. If you have a question about your property, please call the Town of Barnstable Department of Public Works at 508-790-6400 or email dpw@town.barnstable.ma.us.
