Town Meeting authorized $2,800,000 for the rehabilitation of equalization tanks at the Yarmouth Septage facility under Article 17. The project is described as critical maintenance for aging infrastructure that has become highly corrosive.

Select Board member Mark Forest presented the article, noting that the tanks are failing and require immediate intervention to ensure continued operation. The funding for the repairs will be drawn from septage revenues rather than the general tax levy. As the motion involved borrowing, a two-thirds majority was required.

The article passed following a standing vote. The facility remains a vital component of the town's current waste management system as the broader municipal sewer project continues its multi-year rollout toward a 2028 plant opening.

Motion: I move that the town appropriate $2,800,000 for the rehabilitation of the equalization tank at the Yarmouth Septage facility.

Vote: Passed by 2/3 Majority
