metrowestdailynews. 5 million next month for additional upgrades to the sewage treatment plant with work tentatively set for July… 75 milligrams per liter to. 1 milligrams before the end of 2010. After Town Meeting last year approved more than $28 million for designs and upgrades Earth Tech Inc. the design project’s engineering firm concluded that additional work is necessary said Town Engineer Jack Goodhall. "They found additional items that should be upgraded for a variety of reasons items that were felt should be upgraded because they were nearing their expected life" Goodhall said. He said the need to reduce phosphorous and effluent discharge into the Assabet River is the driving force behind the project. Excess phosphorous promotes the growth of algae and plants choking off oxygen in the river.

"Where there is to be damage… their consistent advice to me is that there will be no damage to people’s homes" Mr Rees said. "Where there is to be damage. people would be recompensed.
