Action Item: Call Braintree Mayor and MassDEP to say NO to raw sewage in water

Yesterday raw sewage flowed directly into the Monatiquot and Fore Rivers with little public notice.

Avoid contact (such as swimming) with the Fore River and Monatiquot River for 48 hours.

Adding insult to injury, NO public notification was sent via email and text to people subscribed to alerts from the Town of Braintree. It was only posted on the sewer department website. It is also unclear and confusing to sign up for the sewage alert list.

This is in violation of the Sewage Notification Law.

It does not have to be this way. Please TAKE ACTION: Call Braintree Mayor Joyce 781-794-8100 and MassDEP 508-946-2750 and say this is unacceptable and against the law, and the public deserves the right to know when poop flows into our local waterbodies.

There are boaters, kayakers, beaches and public access points downstream in Environmental Justice neighborhoods.

When our local governments fail to get the word out, you can count on us to get the word out. Thank you for helping make our communities safer.
