The $320 million, three-phase, multiyear Narragansett Bay Commission’s Combined Sewerage Overflow Program sought to eliminate sewer overflows into Rhode Island’s Narragansett Bay.
“It’s been live 11 months and has captured 1 billion gallons of waste,” says Joseph Pratt, senior vice president of The Louis Berger Group of Providence, R.I., the project’s program manager. “It was just an overall success. It worked better than anyone thought it would.”
