Frequently Asked Questions

Is any type of discharge of hazardous material within the city allowed?

All discharge of hazardous materials within the city are prohibited.

Are grease inteceptors required?

All new and existing food service establishments are required to have an indoor grease trap (interceptor) installed that complies with the Massachusetts State Plumbing Code. New and existing food establishments, as determined by Wastewater Division, which have a reasonable potential to impact the City’s sewer system, are required to install an outdoor grease trap (interceptor) as a condition of their food establishment license/permit.

Can I install a private water system in the city?

Is each property required to have a separate sewer service?

Yes, each property is required to have a separate sewer service. Your service extends from its connection to the sewer main in the street to the plumbing in your house. As the property owner you are responsible for maintaining your service in good working order at your expense. Connections of roof downspouts, exterior foundation drains, areaway drains or other sources of surface water runoff or groundwater to your sewer service are prohibited.

What do I do if I have a catch basin that is clogged and creating a flooding problem?

Is water in Revere safe to drink?

Drought Status

MWRA and the Department of Conservation and Recreation keep a daily watch on reservoir levels at Quabbin (412 billion gallon capacity) and Wachusett (65 billion).

While Wachusett levels are kept relatively fixed, Quabbin levels fluctuate with precipitation and watershed runoff.

The Quabbin/Wachusett system is so large that it can withstand short- and medium-length droughts and dry periods without a significant impact on its operating levels.

While the MWRA reservoirs are in Normal Operating range and no mandatory water use restrictions are in effect, Revere and MWRA urge residents to use water wisely.
