The Sun News Article by Melanie Gilbert
“Combined, Lowell and Manchester’s CSO investments represent a major step forward in improving the water quality of the Merrimack River, which has been a priority of Tarr. The minority leader of the Senate represents the downstream communities of the 1st Essex and Middlesex District, many of which rely on the Merrimack watershed for clean drinking water, recreation, tourism and economies like fishing.
The river, which begins in New Hampshire, empties into the Gulf of Maine between the city of Newburyport and the town of Salisbury, both of which are in Tarr’s district.
“Through collaboration and renewed focus, we have been making steady progress toward improving the water quality of the Merrimack River and the health of its watershed,” Tarr said.”
