Haverhill sewer break closes beach in Massachusetts
A major sewer line break in Haverhill has resulted in the release of eight million gallons of untreated wastewater into the Merrimack River daily, leading to the closure of beaches and shellfish areas north of Boston. Officials are working to repair the line and install a temporary pipeline to stop the discharge amid public health concerns, with closures affecting several beaches including Ipswich, Salisbury, and Newburyport. The incident comes ahead of a heat wave and the Fourth of July holiday, prompting urgent action to protect public health and the environment.
