In this episode of ABTV we take a deep dive, literally, into MWRA’s source waters to learn how the Authority is combatting aquatic invasive plant species that disrupt the balance and threaten the quality of your drinking water.

 

Listen along while we take a boat ride on the Quinapoxet Basin with MWRA Senior Manager of Reservoir Operations, John Gregoire and the crew from Aquatic Endeavors.
