Hello All,
The sewer collection system break that was located on Middlesex Turnpike in front of Micozzi Beach that started at 6:30 AM today has now ended. Please continue to avoid contact with Nutting Lake and surrounding waters until it has been sufficiently evaluated after this event. The town’s Board of Health will continue to monitor that situation moving forward.

" Precautionary measures to be taken by the public. Avoid contact with these water bodies for 48 hours after the discharge or overflow ceases due to increased health risks from bacteria and other pollutants."
