Our Strategy for Public Sewage Planning Meeting #5

Our strategy is simple.

  1. Register for the meeting now!
  2. Login to the meeting tonight at 6 pm.
  3. Make your voice heard, if the meeting presenters allow it.

Please use the chat feature during the meeting – if the presenters allow it.
Raise your hand to speak during Q&A.

  1. Tell a personal story if you have one. Explain why ending sewage pollution is important to you, if you have kids, live, walk, or bike along Alewife Brook.
  2. Demand an End to Sewage Pollution by 2050.

    Ask MWRA for a plan that includes:
    1. Complete Sewer Separation by 2050.
    2. Green Stormwater Infrastructure to reduce flooding and clean the water.
    3. Underground Sewage Storage Tanks.
    4. Most importantly: A 25-year level of control for the year 2050*

* A 25-year level of control is what engineers often refer to as “virtual” combined sewage elimination. It means that there are no sewage discharges, except in a really big storm that occurs roughly every 25 years. Today’s “25-year storm” has a 4% chance of occurring in any given year, statistically expected once every 25 years. That means around 6 inches of rain in 24-hours, according to the most current rainfall model (NOAA Atlas 14).



Please attend tonight.
Thursday, September 25th at 6 PM via Zoom
