Coalition continues legal efforts to stop Marion sewage lagoons from leaking nitrogen pollution
|
This action is the latest chapter seeking to bring an end to a 47-year-old pollution problem. Because they aren’t lined at the bottom, these lagoons leak as much as 50,000 gallons of contaminated wastewater every day. The town must fix these leaking sewage lagoons and comply with state law.

| Be part of history at the 25th anniversary Buzzards Bay Swim |
25 years ago, a visionary group of local residents had a big idea: to swim 1.2 miles across outer New Bedford Harbor to raise awareness and funds for clean water in Buzzards Bay. That year, 17 swimmers raised $2,000 at the very first Buzzards Bay Swim.
Since that first Buzzards Bay Swim in 1994, the event has grown to attract more than 300 swimmers from communities across New England and beyond to the shores of New Bedford and Fairhaven each June. This year, you can be part of the Swim’s storied history by signing up for the 25th Buzzards Bay Swim on Saturday, June 30. |
