Emptying Sewage into The Charles?

Emptying Sewage into The Charles?

A recent proposal by the Massachusetts Water Resources Authority (MWRA) would allow sewage overflows into the Charles River by declassifying it as “safe to swim,” a designation that allows the waterway to be “occasionally subject to short-term impairment of swimming or other recreational uses.” The MWRA was set to vote on the proposal but tabled the vote. It's unclear how they will proceed but advocates of keeping the Charles River, Alewife Brook, and other local waterways sewage free view the postponement as a victory. Emily Norton, the executive director of the Charles River Watershed Association joined to discuss the ongoing concerns over proposed sewage overflows into the Charles River.
