Newton Advances Stormwater Efforts With $4.3M Loan, Cheesecake Brook Restoration (Fig City News)

Newton is advancing stormwater infrastructure investments to mitigate pollution entering the Charles River and meet environmental requirements. “Stormwater management projects like these are important to communities like Newton because they begin to rectify some of the current challenges created by the historic local draining of wetlands and the creation of urban drainage, which contributes to flooding risks. As climate change continues to strengthen flood risk and extreme precipitation likelihood, it’s important for Newton to think proactively about infrastructure and community resilience,” CRWA Stormwater Associate Alfredo Con is quoted.
