Board approves replacement septic system at 11 Bayberry Lane, approves Advantex unit
Summary
The Board of Health approved a raise-and-replace project at 11 Bayberry Lane that replaces an older fast unit with an Advantex treatment unit, reuses the existing leaching facility, and includes deed-recording, monitoring and O&M conditions; board approval valid until 07/30/2027.
John O'Reilly appeared for the owners of 11 Bayberry Lane and described a bayfront raise-and-rebuild that will retain the existing leaching field while replacing the fast-treatment tank and pump chamber with a new septic tank and an Advantex treatment unit. "Advantex is a very good product that they do allow you to regulate it," O'Reilly said, emphasizing the unit's track record for nitrogen treatment and adjustability.
Staff and board members reviewed the project scope, confirmed the house will remain connected to town water, and discussed existing variances that remain on the lot. The board approved the request with standard conditions including a deed restriction, operation and maintenance agreement, monitoring and quarterly or semiannual effluent sampling consistent with DEP general-use approvals, and board approval valid through 07/30/2027.
Why it matters: For bayfront properties, nitrogen reduction is an important environmental consideration. The board's conditions aim to preserve system performance and ensure monitoring and enforcement through deed restrictions and reporting.
