If much of the property on which the Josiah Smith Tavern is located is wetlands, what about storm water runoff and septic issues?
The two buildings will share an advanced “Bioclere” treatment system similar to the one at Town Hall. The leaching field will be under the parking lot. Storm water will be collected in catch basins and treated, significantly reducing water runoff to wetlands. The engineering firm Metrowest Engineering has worked closely with the City of Cambridge to insure that there is no impact on the Cambridge water supply. Both the Conservation Commission and Board of Health have approved the plans.
