Colours no water as of Nov 2, 2026, 6:56 AM EST: the windows on the methods page have passed, or the record has no time to count from.

A report is not a test of the water. See how statuses are worked out.

1. The reported outfall

Outfall reported by Springfield Water and Sewer Commission (MA0101613 outfall 048): “ALLEN & RIFLE STS.”. Location: 42.09703, -72.56393, from the state's or EPA's outfall layer.

Source: EPA ECHO outfall inventory matched in data/outfalls-ne.json (match: geometry), permit MA0101613 outfall 048.

2. Waters named in the notice

The notice names: “Mill River”. We place it on Lake Massasoit, MA. Matched by the outfall's ID in the outfall registry, which places each outfall on a water.

3. Modeled downstream reach

Not modeled: the reach model runs on rivers above the head of tide only.

Source: water outlines from OpenBoatLaunch and OpenStreetMap contributors (ODbL); outfalls from EPA ECHO and the state outfall layers; modeled reaches computed by DirtyWaterWatch from USGS NLDI, NHDPlus and the nearest USGS gauge (Jobson 1996); basemap OpenFreeMap and OpenMapTiles.
