The recent modest rainstorm overwhelmed Quincy’s sewer and drain system such that yet again the waters along Wollaston Beach have been red-flagged over sewerage-caused pollution and thus closed for recreation by the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation.

In turn, such baits further confirmation for the City of Quincy ending up hit with a hundred million dollar fix-it consent agreement with the United States Environment Protection Agency to address local sewerage spills into the Boston Harbor.

In any event, with a heavy rain forecast for tonight into tomorrow such will likely only extend the sewerage pollution along Wollaston Beach, if not also at other local beaches, for at least a few more days just as we all head into the Fourth of July holiday and official kick-off for the summer vacation season.
