Green infrastructure projects in Milford and Natick reduce pollution and mitigate flood risks

Thank you to the Massachusetts Municipal Association for highlighting our green infrastructure project in Milford Town Park which will clean stormwater of pollution and build climate resilience.

The project is expected to reduce the amount of phosphorus running into the Charles River by 25 pounds annually," [CRWA’s Robert] Kearns said, "and will recharge about 0.5 acre-feet of rain annually (equivalent to the volume of 55 concrete mixer trucks) into the groundwater."
