Massive Sewage Spill Hits Merrimack River | Concord News

Massive sewage spill in Haverhill, MA dumping up to 10 million gallons daily into the Merrimack River due to two broken pipes—E. coli levels skyrocketed, forcing beach closures and public warnings. Downstream tests show contamination 40x over safe limits, with New Hampshire officials ramping up beach monitoring near the river’s mouth. Haverhill, with its outdated combined sewer system, is working to separate pipes like Manchester, while Concord’s separate system—operating since the 70s—remains resilient with minimal infiltration.
