What is CWMP?

The Comprehensive Wastewater Management Plan or CWMP is the town of Orleans' four-phase process in which it will determine if changes in wastewater management are needed. The four phases are: Needs Assessment, Development and screening of Alternatives, Detailed Evaluation of Alternatives and Development of a Recommended Plan. Now in phase one, the town has found that in the next twenty years, possibly 70% of Orleans land parcels that exist today must have wastewater piped off their property to a treatment plant. How and when this will need to be accomplished is still unclear. What is clear, however, is that something must be done to protect the town's bays and ponds in the not too distant future.

For Sale By Owner—Can I sell my house myself?

Only 7% of homes sold in Massachusetts last year were listed as For Sale By Owner or FSBO. A recent study of last year's home sales all over the country found that in 2006, the number of homes listed for sale by owner was the lowest in 25 years. The homes that were sold as For Sale By Owner without the help of a REALTORź sold for an average of 31.9% less than those sold with the help of a professional. The study found that local buyers who shopped for a home online were more likely to use an agent to purchase their home than buyers who did not use the Internet during their home search .
