NepRWA's water quality program allows us to identify and fix problems in the waterways of the Neponset River Watershed.
Lack of rainfall leads to reduced stormwater pollution and low water levels.
Overall, it's a mixed outlook for the Neponset River, with outstanding dissolved oxygen, mediocre total phosphorus, and worsening E. coli levels.
January 2, 2020 As we look forward to an exciting year ahead, it’s also worth taking a moment to reflect on the achievements of 2019, made possible by the generous support of members and volunteers like you! Education & Outreach Presented water conservation and stormwater programs to over 2,500 fifth graders and high school students […]
The Neponset River makes a comeback with better E. coli, Phosphorus, and Dissolved Oxygen levels in September.
Our August water quality results show the harmful effect that polluted stormwater runoff has on the river.
April 2018 — Here at NepRWA, spring ushers in the beginning of our Citizen Water Monitoring Network (CWMN). The sampling season will officially start on May 10th, marking the 23rd consecutive year of this very successful citizen based water quality monitoring program. Volunteer training sessions will be held in our office–2173 Washington St., Canton— from […]

NepRWA needs your help with a new study of fishing and fish consumption in the Neponset River Watershed.
Our staff has been extremely busy this spring with exciting stormwater projects in nine different communities.
In 2012, US EPA inspectors found oil leaking into the Neponset River from the Saint Gobain-owned CertainTeed roofing plant (formerly Bird and Son) in Norwood.
Impacts of the drought include unusually high bacteria levels and dangerously low dissolved oxygen levels.
The majority of our CWMN volunteers managed to get samples for August, despite drought-induced low water levels throughout the Watershed.
This month, bacteria levels were higher than usual, despite the extremely dry weather and low water levels.
Unfortunately, many of the chemicals that were stored in the building were washed directly into the brook, and ultimately, the Neponset River.
The Baker Administration is pushing for the Mass Department of Environmental Protection to issue water pollution discharge permits, rather than using the US Environmental Protection Agency, which typically issues them.
This year's Citizen's Water Monitoring Network (CWMN) begins in May and we're looking for volunteers to who are interested in water quality sampling.
