Sewage-Free Streets and Rivers

Join Potomac Riverkeeper Network for a deep-dive discussion into one of the worst sewage spills in modern history. On January 19th, a 6 foot wide sewage pipe failed and leaked more than 300 million gallons of raw sewage into the Potomac River. This issue isn't 100% resolved just yet, but progress is underway.

During this discussion, we'll talk about: what happened, what has been done to fix the issue, what still needs to be done, what our next steps are, and much more. There will be time for a Q&A session at the end of this presentation.

Earlier this month, New Jersey Future and the Sewage-Free Streets and Rivers campaign joined Environment New Jersey and several partners in Camden for the release of the report, “Sewage pollution in the Philadelphia-Camden region.”

According to the study, Camden’s combined sewer system released raw sewage and polluted stormwater an average of 76 days a year.

To ensure that residents can consistently enjoy local waterways free of sewage pollution, the report makes several recommendations to all levels of government in Camden County and calls on federal officials to dramatically increase funding for upgrading wastewater infrastructure and preventing runoff pollution. 💧⬆️💰
