Our Vision for the Alewife…
- A Safe, Beautiful, Fishable Brook for the Residents and for Wildlife
- Separated Sewer Systems to keep Sewage out of Stormwater
- Elimination of all Alewife CSOs to End Sewage Pollution
- New Green Infrastructure to Clean the Stormwater
- An Additional Alewife Pumping Station Near Little River
- New Grey Infrastructure to Reduce Flooding in the Face of Climate Change
I’m unclear how it has ever been acceptable for sewage to flow into our waters, rivers, yards. I think Fred
Laskey does great work, am surprised this still happens on his watch, frankly, though it’s clear these changes are historically under addressed, huge and need interagency involvement. I’m glad EPA is on board to change. I’m glad to see the move forward for addressing this locally widespread issue, would like to attend Apr 24 meeting and see how I might help.
