Most people were unaware of the wastewater released into the Black River by Ludlow's Municipal Waste Water Treatment Plant this past weekend. Clearly, if you are trout fishing, "catch and release" is the best option. Clean your gear with care as well.
We have been in touch with Black River Action Team (BRAT) as well as the town office. To make sure the public is informed in a timely manner, multiple people in town will now be receiving the Alerts from the Agency of Natural Resources.

These results will appear weekly in the Update.
In the event of a reading that indications unsafe conditions, we will use the same measures to alert the community.

There was also a pump failure at the Springfield Waste Water Treatment plant during the heavy rainstorm a week or two ago which resulted in partially treated sewage being released.
