Massachusetts City
Reaches $100M Settlement
to Repair Sewers
The city of Quincy, Mass., has agreed to invest
some $100 million over more than 10 years to
repair its stormwater system after being sued by the
Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. attorney's
offi ce for violations of the Clean Water Act.
The city was sued two years ago after offi cials
found that its wastewater system was discharging
pollutants into waterways like Quincy Bay,
Dorchester Bay, Hingham Bay, the Neponset River
and Boston Harbor.
Under the consent decree, the city will adhere to
a schedule to identify and repair leaks in its stormwater
and sewerage systems. It will fi rst monitor
stormwater outfalls that may contaminate beaches
and post notices warning when there is potentially
contaminated water.
The repairs must be completed by 2034, and the
city will pay a civil penalty of $115,000.
Christopher Walker, chief of staff to Quincy Mayor
Thomas Koch, told the Boston Globe that the city
has spent as much as $8 million of its $400 million
annual budget on repairs of the wastewater system.
