We are partnering with the Mystic River Watershed Association to implement four stormwater infiltration trenches adjacent to roadside storm drains in the Mystic River watershed. The trenches are designed to capture the first flush of stormwater runoff which carries the majority of pollutants during a storm event, supporting the reduction of Phosphorus pollution, a known concern in the watershed. These trenches are part of a large-scale effort to implement over 200 infiltration trenches in the Mystic River Watershed which recharges the groundwater in our highly urbanized watershed and provides benefits to downstream communities and water users.
