According to experts whose job it is to know about such things, the “mass drainfield” proposed by some local residents appears to be a less effective and less reliable alternative to the problem, taking into account the unsuitability of soil types for septic systems in and around the Town. Moreover, it will delay a solution for many months, if not year^, while the ongoing pollution of our watershed continues.
