Water Pollution Hot Spots: Fall Update

We've resolved six hot spots in total and hope to resolve more before our first season is over.

Hotspot Program

We're working to identify and fix problem sites along the Neponset!

The Hotspot program is already showing signs of success.

Aquatic life stressed as water recedes in the Neponset and its tributaries

Neponset fish are not only running out of water, they’re also running out of the dissolved oxygen they need to breathe.

Improved stormwater management and eliminated sewage contamination will lead to massive improvements in water quality.

The Neponset River Watershed Association is working to improve the health of Unquity Brook in Milton.

NepRWA aims to discover the source of bacteria in Unquity Brook by using a newly developed technology called Microbial Source Tracking.
