Move that the Select Board make the following 2026 allocations to growth management: Category 1a: 0 gallons Category 1b: 0 gallons Category 2: 4,290 gallons Category 3: 0 gallons Category 3a: 0 gallons Category 4: 0 gallons Category 4a: 0 gallons Move that the Select Board determine that. although the Town remains in compliance with the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection water withdrawal permit, the Town's limited water supply and infrastructure constraints require prioritization of available Title 5 gallonage: and further, that the Select Board make a 2026 allocation of zero (0) gallons to General Use Category 3 (new market-rate housing). In support of this determination. the Select Board makes the following findings: 1. Provincetown's public water supply operated in 2025 at 89% of its permitted level of 850,000 gallons per day, established by the DEP's water withdrawal permit, and is projected to be increasingly constrained; 2.

There is a clear and urgent demand for housing that serves community needs, which is projected to be met under the existing balances of Categories 1 & 2 and by allocating additional gallons to Category 2: and 4. Market-rate housing does not advance the established policy goals of the Select Board to incentivize affordable, community or year-round housing goals; Category 3 units are new market-rate dwellings with no affordability or occupancy restrictions and therefore do not directly address these policy goals.
