| CSO Tunnel Proves Effective! |

Click here to read about the CSO's first real-world test, in the Projo. Click here for a recent Prov Business News story about the project. And click here for info about Save The Bay's Bay Bash fundraiser, next Saturday, which will celebrate the completion of the project. |
All that rain over the last few days was just what we needed to see if our new CSO tunnel can do the job. The project was built to divert stormwaters out of our combined sewer systems in Providence, so we don't get raw sewage overflowing into the Bay every time it rains. And it worked! We're hopeful that the water quality improvements in the upper bay and the urban rivers will soon start to create healthier habitats for fish, shellfish, and other wildlife.
