Aging sewer infrastructure across Westchester County has resulted in systemic leaks and overflows that discharge pollutants directly into local soil and waterways, threatening public health, local ecosystems, and the Long Island Sound.
On Wednesday, March 4 at 7 PM, the Hutchinson River Restoration Project, the Environmental Coalition of the Pelhams (EcoPel) and the Town of Pelham will host a public presentation by the Westchester Coalition for Clean Water (WCCW) examining how a unified county sewer district could offer a long-term, regional solution to protect Westchester’s waterways.
The event will take place at the Daronco Town House (34 Fifth Avenue, Pelham) and is open to the public.
Featured speakers include:
- Lorraine Walsh, WCCW member and former Mayor of Larchmont
- Nancy Seligson, Co-Chair of WCCW
Residents, local officials, and community advocates are encouraged to attend and participate in this timely conversation about safeguarding Westchester’s water resources.
