After eight years of planning, design, and construction, RiverRenew is now just days away from transforming the region’s waterways. Beginning July 1, we will be ready to prevent millions of gallons of combined sewage from polluting our waterways — opening the door for a cleaner, more fishable, swimmable future for our community.

To mark this historic milestone, we are hosting a ribbon cutting ceremony on July 1 from 9 a.m. to 10 a.m. Members of the public are invited to gather at our administrative building at 1800 Limerick Street by 8:30 a.m. to make their way onto the site. See below for more event details.
