Lawrence Road Housing Project
95 Lawrence Road Affordable Housing Project:
An affordable housing project located at 95 Lawrence Road has been identified as a location for a neighborhood-scale wastewater treatment plant. The site is located within the Duck Creek watershed where a significant nitrogen reduction is required. Utilizing a grant provided by the Cape Cod Commission On-Site Engineering evaluated wastewater options for the site. This evaluation considered three options: 1) an innovative and alternative septic system for the houding project alone, 2) a wastewater treatment plant to service the housing development and the three adjacent municipal buildings, and 3) a larger wastewater treatment plant to service the housing development, the municipal buildings and a number of residential homes in the neighborhood. The results of the evaluation indicated that option 3 would provide the most significant nitrogen reduction benefit to Duck Creek and would provide a cost-effective solution.
This project will uniquely accomplish both affordable housing and water quality restoration. This is a rare opportunity to contribute to both of these important causes within one project.
