Falmouth Marine Pump Out Station

Last weekend one of our members, David Gooch, MV "Blue Sky", attempted to use the Falmouth Town Landing Marine Pump Out Station and discovered the pump was not working properly. David contacted the Harbor Master and the Police Chief to inform them there was a problem. After many hours the Harbor Master discovered the pump had an object lodged that was causing the pump to malfunction. With help from Pete Clark and Dwayne Brown who work for the Wastewater Department they were able to clear the blockage and the system is now back-up and running. Police Chief Tolan also told David that the town is working with the Wastewater Department to create a long term solution when these types of problems occur.

We appreciate the committed efforts by the Falmouth team to keep the pump out station operational. Having a marine pump out station so close to the PYC achorage is beneficial to members who are trying to comply with the “no discharge” zone.
