The Massachusetts Water Resources Authority (MWRA) recently proposed a plan that would allow for sewage to continue to be dumped into the Charles River forever.During a meeting with its Board of Directors, MWRA officials presented multiple options for addressing combined sewer overflows (CSOs in the Charles, and recommended adopting the option leading to the least amount of sewage reduction.
After public outcry, the proposal was pulled from the MWRA’s Nov. 19th agenda.
According to an MWRA spokesperson quoted in The Boston Globe, “…it will be considered at a future board meeting after further information is gathered.”
During this webinar, Charles River Watershed Association Executive Director Emily Norton will explain what the proposed plan entails, why the board should reject it, and what you can do to influence the board’s vote.
