Where does water in the storm drain system go?
Stormwater carried by the storm drain system directly enters water bodies throughout Town, including the Concord River, the Shawsheen River, Nutting Lake, and Winning Pond. Sometimes stormwater flows into wooded or wetland areas of Billerica. Remember – stormwater is not treated at the wastewater treatment plant. Any pollution that is washed into the storm drain ends up in Billerica’s lakes and streams! If you suspect someone is putting pollution into the storm drain system or into water bodies, call the Billerica Board of Health at 978-671-0931.
