Massachusetts Bay Bacteria
MWRA monitors bacteria at locations surrounding the MWRA outfall and elsewhere in Massachusetts Bay (see station map). Water samples are analyzed for sewage indicator bacteria: fecal coliform and Enterococcus. Fecal coliform is used by the Massachusetts Division of Marine Fisheries to monitor water quality in shellfish areas. Results consistently meet the most stringent Massachusetts water quality standards.
