As we enter our annual homecoming weekend, it is with a heavy heart that we share the news that our water continues to degrade to the point that it is unsafe to swim in. Please read the notice below. Let us keep this in mind as we honor the four directions at Powwow.

Mashpee - Wakeby Pond is under advisory due to the presence of a cyanobacteria bloom. Waterbody is unsafe for people and pets; do not swim, do not swallow water, keep animals away, and rinse off after contact with the water. Please contact the Mashpee Board of Health or the Mashpee Department of Natural Resources with any future questions.
