Sanitary Sewer Overflow Public Notification

When a discharge or overflow occurs, DPW sends out a public advisory notification. On business days, this website will be updated to include this notification by the end of that business day. 

During weekends or holidays, this website will be updated by the end of the next business day.

You can also see a list of discharge and overflow events on the MassDEP website.

  • This list is updated within 24 hours of when the public advisory notification is sent. Enter “Burlington, Town of” in the Permittee field and click “Search”.
