Join MyRWA and community experts to explore more about the water quality grades in the Mystic and learn more about what you can do as a watershed resident.

The event will begin with a panel discussion about the Mystic River Water Quality Report Card, explore why many of the smaller tributaries are still receiving failing grades, hear from municipal engineers about what is happening locally to improve the grades as well as a summary of the Combined Sewer Overflow Long Term Control Planning effort now happening. There will be time for a Q&A and community discussion.

This event is free and open to all residents! Please join us if you care about clean water in your rivers, lakes, and ponds—and want to learn more about what you can do. Light refreshments will be served.

We do ask that you RSVP here.

Speakers include:

Andy Hrycyna, Watershed Scientist at MyRWA

Jennifer Delgado, Watershed Field Scientist at MyRWA

Stephen Perkins, Volunteer from MyRWA

Matt Shuman, Winchester Town Engineer
