What property owners can expect

Eastham expects connections for phase-one properties to begin in 2030, according to its October 1, 2026, resident letter. The town says property owners need not take immediate action simply because construction is beginning.

Contracts and project status

The letter lists an overall project budget of $170 million and approximately $125.1 million in awarded construction contracts. Those figures describe different parts of the project’s finances; the difference is not a final cost saving.

Before groundbreaking

The project website, checked November 12, still identifies the current stage as pre-construction planning, with scheduling underway and groundbreaking next. Its scope includes five collection-system contracts, a treatment facility and replacement of the DPW salt shed.
