Update on the Boston Harbor Project's Progress and Milestones

The Boston Harbor Project, initiated in 1999 with a budget of $3.7 billion, is nearing completion, primarily focusing on the Deer Island Wastewater Treatment Facility. Key milestones include the establishment of the MWRA in July 1985, the cessation of scum and sludge discharges by 1991, and the launch of new primary treatment facilities in 1995. The project aims to enhance environmental quality in Boston Harbor by upgrading treatment capacities and systems. Future developments include the start-up of a new outfall diffuser system in March 2000.
