Burlington Beaches Closed After Wastewater Spill | Montpelier News

Burlington’s wastewater plant got hit by a rainstorm that overwhelmed its system, leading to partial discharge and the closure of several popular beaches—including Blanchard Beach and Perkins Pier—until 5:30 p.m. Thursday. The dry spell before the storm caused buildup in the sewers, making the plant’s capacity insufficient during the sudden downpour. Officials are monitoring conditions closely before reopening the beaches. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
