A new Main Street brewery has been given an extension of its sewer allocation, but questions remain about the status of the business, specifically whether the owner stills plan to open in Bourne.
Oak Bay Brewery has been on target to open in the former Asacks Footwear store at 140 Main Street in Buzzards Bay. Brewery owner Brian M. Poulin appeared before the Bourne Board of Sewer Commissioners in December 2019 and requested a wastewater allocation of 2,256 gallons per day for his new business.
The commissioners unanimously approved the request, in part because Town Administrator Anthony E. Schiavi said there were 2,408 gallons of wastewater capacity available out of the 200,000 gallons per day Bourne can send to Warehamâs treatment facility.
