Sewer

The Fall River’s Sewer Commission is responsible for the Wastewater Collection and Treatment System. Fall River’s system is primarily a Combined Sewer System transporting both sanitary and stormwater flows from approximately 75% of the sewered areas of the City. These facilities have the capacity to collect, transport and treat dry-weather. On average, 25-million gallons of sewage are treated per day. The peak hydraulic capacity for combined dry and wet-weather flow is 106-million gallons per day. For non-business hours call the Wastewater Treatment Plant at 508.672.4530.
