Well Water vs. Town Water in Eastham

Will Eastham vote for municipal water? At town meeting on May 6th, Eastham voters will be asked to approve a 114 million-dollar municipal water system. Those in favor point to the presence of nitrates from septic systems in private wells and the leaching of a possible carcinogen dioxane from the town dump into the well water of nine homes.  Opponents say there are other effective and less expensive options to ensure safe drinking water in Eastham. Mindy Todd has the story on The Point.
