Summary
Plum Island beaches in Newburyport are still off-limits as millions of gallons of raw sewage spill daily into the Merrimack River after a catastrophic sewer break in Haverhill—revealed to be two massive ruptures in a 42-inch main. Officials, including Newburyport’s Public Health Director, are taking drastic precautions to protect public safety while crews work around the clock to reroute sewage via bypass lines. Locals report a foul, overpowering odor, and the situation remains urgent as authorities race to fix the pipes and restore water quality before anyone swims again.
