MASHPEE Town meeting voters unanimously approved funding for a new wastewater treatment plant Monday night, marking the culmination of decades of work to address the town s water quality problems.
436 voters unanimously approved the project at this year s spring session, which was held outside Mashpee Middle-High School.
“We all have a stake in this,” Selectman Andrew Gottlieb told voters Monday night. “The cost of doing nothing is significant. We are already paying that price. We’re paying it through loss of aesthetic value, we’re paying it through loss of recreational value. We’re paying it because we live in a less healthy, less robust, less forgiving environment. It’s up to us to change that.”

A loon surfaced intermittently a few feet off the southern shore of Santuit Pond as several ospreysârecently returned from an intercontinental migrationâcircled overhead or perched in still-leafless trees.
To a voice memo app on his phone, Jim Carroll noted the date (March 31, 2021), the time (a little past 5:30 PM), the weather (80 percent clouds) and air temperature (11 degrees Celsius, or 51 degrees Fahrenheit).
Mr. Carroll dipped a thermometer over the edge of the Santuit fish ladder, where a few dozen alewife herring gathered in pools. After a moment, he retrieved the thermometer.
âTwelve degrees,â he said. âThe water is warmer than the air.â
