Curious about CSO’s?
CSOs are frequent and significant. In 2018, six sewage treatment systems experienced hundreds of overflow events, which MRWC estimates resulted in the discharge of an aggregate of 850 million gallons of raw sewage into the river. In a typical year 510 million gallons are released.” More information is available at https://merrimack.org/education/cso/
The Merrimack: River at Risk: an outstanding video presentation Directed by Jerry Monkman and Produced by The Society for the Protection of NH Forests provides an excellent review of the history, development and risk. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w4UuEhMK-1Q
