Not sure what the definition of “massive flood zone” is. But, there are currently 5000 people who live in the 100-year flood plain surrounding the Alewife Brook.

This whole area is predicted to be a massive flood zone in the not so distant future

Oh sorry I'm a member...I think under 40 it's $300ish for a year, unlimited visits. Pays for itself many times over for us.

It's treated and filtered before being used as drinking water. When Cambridge switched to MWRA water a while back, it was because they were installing a new filtration system.

Like a storm event significant enough to cause flooding in the area?

This is the kind of over-exaggerated alarmism I log onto social media to consume in the morning. The biggest issue I see is that your shoes will get wet running through this

Lmao Jesus christ OP, skin contact with some forever chems aren't going to harm the jogger any more than putting a cell phone against your head might

Alewife Brook was hydrologically connected to Fresh Pond. In fact, the Alewife Brook used to be a substantial river before that connection was severed. Some people believe the connection is still there. But it would take a large storm event for the Alewife water to get into Fresh Pond.

We think that the pollutants in the sediment come from local industry and from the sewage pollution.

Umm, are we drinking it? Isn't Fresh Pond one of the reservoirs and right next to there?

Heavily diluted by rain water.
I wouldn't drink it, but skin contact would not be an issue.

They do, and it's not relevant. Don't turn this into cars v bikes.

It’s probably also because Cambridge cops hate the people they’re supposed to serve as noted on Facebook and just by generally being a human being with functioning eyeballs

Imagine if they charged drivers for murdering cyclists with their cars though
That’d be nice
You know. If the Facebook whining bitchpigs are going to get off their ass about a cyclist and all
