Board denies 20,500‑gpd sewer/water allocation request for 82‑unit Barnstable project

Sep 8, 2026

The Commissioners declined to grant D & F Development LLC’s request for 20,500 gpd of sewer and water allocation for an 82-unit development in Chester; the minutes record the allocation cost as $1,328,400 and also state a 10% nonrefundable deposit will be required within 30 days (minutes' wording is inconsistent).

The full story

County staff told the Board that D & F Development LLC (dba Barnstable) sought 20,500 gallons-per-day of sewer and water allocation for an 82-unit condominium townhouse project on Rt. 18/Main Street in Chester and that the allocation cost at current rates would be $1,328,400. The County’s remaining uncommitted residential sewer allocation was described as approximately 50,000 gpd of the 3-million-gallon capacity plant.
