This bill addresses the issue of combined sewer overflows (CSOs) in Massachusetts, which occur when rainwater and sewage mix and flow into rivers and coastal areas.

The bill seeks to improve water quality and protect public health by mitigating the negative impacts of CSOs. It also encourages the use of green infrastructure to manage stormwater runoff.
