Board approves additional allocated flow requests for downtown properties

Town of Orleans Board of Water and Sewer Commissioners · August 19, 2026

Summary

The board approved extra allocated flow for 41 Main Street (applicant represented by Cape Islands Engineering) and for a bedroom increase at 18 Cold Place; applicants will decide whether to amortize allocated-flow charges over the remaining 30-year betterment term or pay up front.

The board approved two requests for additional allocated sewer flow during the Aug. 19 meeting.

Cape Islands Engineering's Raldi Sardi said the new owner of 41 Main Street, Orleans LLC, plans renovations requiring an additional 10,510 gpd (10,510 gallons/day requested; the planning and fee materials were in the packet). "I'm just available if the board has any questions," Sardi said; commissioners had none and moved to approve the allocated flow request with a roll-call vote in favor.

Separately, the owner at 18 Cold Place requested allocation for an additional bedroom (an increase of roughly 66 gpd for a bedroom under Title 5 assumptions). The board approved the additional allocated flow and discussed whether the applicant would elect to amortize allocated-flow charges over the remainder of a 30-year betterment term or pay the charge at allocation; the applicant may inform staff of their election.

Both approvals were recorded by roll call with commissioners voting in favor.
