Sewers and Smart Growth: Challenges, Opportunities and Strategies

Sewers and Smart Growth: Challenges, Opportunities and Strategies

The Cape Cod Water Protection Collaborative (CCWPC) has undertaken the Sewers and Smart Growth project to explore the possible growth management challenges and opportunities that could arise when a community installs wastewater infrastructure, and to provide a set of tools each community can consider when anticipating or seeking to address potential growth management challenges and opportunities.  In so doing this project also seeks to demonstrate to each community the potential benefits achievable when wastewater planning is integrated with broader community growth management practices. 

This project does not seek to evaluate or influence wastewater infrastructure planning in any town, nor does it seek to prescribe the actions any town should take to manage growth.  This report is intended as a resource to each town as it studies, designs, installs or adaptively manages wastewater infrastructure.
