Description

Did you know that heavy rainfall can cause our sewer systems to overflow and pollute our rivers? Did you know that there are multiple tools available to minimize these overflows?

The Cities of Cambridge and Somerville and the Massachusetts Water Resources Authority are working together to create plans for future sewer improvements that will reduce pollution in our rivers.

Join us virtually to learn about the alternatives we are developing to minimize combined sewer overflows, improve water quality, and achieve safer and cleaner rivers.

We can provide you an interpreter in any other language for free. To request an interpreter, please contact us at somerviva@somervillema.gov or call 311 (617-666-3311) by January 8, 2025. Persons with disabilities who need auxiliary aids or reasonable modifications should please contact Adrienne Pomeroy in advance at 617-625-6600 x 2059 or ADA@somervillema.gov.
