Amherst Sewer Discharge

ZZooey All Messages By This Member #717 The Amherst Waste Water Treatment Facility in Hadley experienced a sanitary sewer overflow/discharge this Friday at 5:45 am. The discharge/overflow flowed into the Mill River east of Route 116 in Hadley.? According to the Department of Public Works and Health Department, a further warning will be issued every eight hours until the overflow has stopped. It is unknown how much sanitary sewage has been discharged or overflowed as of the date of this warning. Amherst’s drinking water was not affected by this discharge. Department of Public Works and Health Department says there are untreated sewage and wastes contained in the discharge/overflow. It is recommended that the public avoid contacting the affected water bodies for at least 48 hours after the discharge/overflow has ceased due to increased health risks caused by bacteria and other contaminants.

This discharge would be down stream where the Mill river enters the CT on the east side, above rainbow beach. ? toggle quoted message Show quoted text From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of ZZooey via groups.io Sent: Friday, September 29, 2023 9:19 PM To: Yankeerowing <[email protected]> Subject: [yankeerowing] Amherst Sewer Discharge ?

Jonathan Wright All Messages By This Member #719 开云体育 Hi all, ? I am generating confusion here. The Fort river is down stream and picks up Hadley and perhaps a bit of south Amherst I am not too sure,, but the Mill River is upstream and carries the bulk of the Amherst waste. ? Sorry for this! ?
