Full Report on the 495/MetroWest Water Resources Strategy Available
The 495/MetroWest Corridor is one of the fastest growing areas of Massachusetts. The Corridor’s municipalities are also experiencing rapid residential growth and commercial growth. This growth brings challenges for the management and protection of water resources and provision of adequate water and sewer services. To address these issues, the Metropolitan Area Planning Council (MAPC) and the 495/MetroWest Corridor Partnership developed a comprehensive Water Resources Strategy for the 495/MetroWest Corridor. Funded by a grant from the Environmental Protection Agency, secured by Congressmen James McGovern, Martin Meehan, and Edward Markey, the project assessed water resource trends in the Corridor and created tools that communities can use to help protect and sustain their water resources.

This publication summarizes water resource trends in three categories: Water Supply, Wastewater, and Stormwater. A set of “Water-Smart Indicators” provides a snapshot of the each community’s major trends in water resources.
