State regulations require local public health departments to provide notice to the public when these discharges may create a risk to public health, including when a discharge lasts for more than two hours. The public is advised to avoid contact with affected water bodies for at least 48 hours after a sewage discharge or overflow, during rainstorms, and for 48 hours after rainstorms end due to increased health risks from bacteria or other pollutants associated with urban stormwater runoff and discharges of untreated or partially treated wastewater.
This data is preliminary and may be revised with additional overflows or revised time periods. Updates about this discharge can be found on the BWSC website here and the MWRA website here. More information about CSOs and public health is available at www.boston.gov/cso.
