These collaborative workshops bring together town sta? and residents for open dialogue and shared understanding. A total of four workshops have been scheduled, taking place on 9/11,9/12, 10/9, and 10/16, all held in the Waqoit Meeting Room at 7:00 PM. These sessions are designed to build upon each other and are broadcast on Mashpee TV and posted on the Town’s website for broader access. Residents are encouraged to follow and watch the full series. Additionally, as part of its ongoing public outreach e?orts, Mashpee Clean Water has organized a series of Zoom webinars to provide residents with important background and context regarding the town’s water quality challenges and sewer planning. Two recent webinars were held on September 18 and October 9. The next session, titled “10 Things to Know About Mashpee’s Waters,” will take place at 7:00 PM this week. This presentation will focus on the historical context behind the town’s sewering e?orts, helping the public better understand why these initiatives are being pursued. All webinar information and updates can be found on the Mashpee Clean Water Facebook page, which is publicly accessible without the need to join, and on the website at MashpeeCleanWaters.info. While the Town-led cluster system workshops are focused on the speciﬁcs of Article 4, the Zoom webinars are designed to provide a broader understanding of the environmental and historical factors driving the sewering initiative. Residents are encouraged to participate in both series to stay informed and engaged.
