SANITARY SEWER OVERFLOW NOTIFICATIONS

A new regulation, (314 CMR 16.00) Notification Requirement to Promote Public Awareness of Sewage Pollution, was recently enacted by Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection. This regulation establishes requirements and procedures for notifying the public of certain types of untreated or partially treated wastewater discharges. Please register if you are interested in receiving a public advisory notification from the LSDC if a reportable event was to occur.

Any notices for SSO's will appear on this page.

The Lancaster Sewer Disrict rarely has SSOs and they are generally minor releases that don't get into lakes, streams or rivers.

When a discharge or overflow occurs, LSDC sends out a public advisory notification.  On business days, this website will be updated within 2 hours of the notification.  During weekends or holidays, this website will be updated on the next business day. 

You can also see a list of discharge and overflow events on the MassDEP website.

This list is updated within 24 hours of when the public advisory notification is sent.  Enter "Lancaster Sewer District" in the Permittee field and click “Search”
