Newburyport Plans Test of Plum Island Sewer Monitoring System

City officials will test a new monitoring system on Plum Island’s sewer vacuum system. The city says the system is intended to help the sewer division locate, identify and respond to problems more quickly than before.

Officials estimate harsh weather is likely to test the Plum Island vacuum system again during another winter. The planned trial is being pursued with that expectation in mind and is intended to improve how the division detects and reacts to issues if they occur.
