On Tuesday, May 22, at 1:30 p.m., Massachusetts Energy and Environmental Affairs (EEA) Secretary Rick Sullivan and Massachusetts Water Resources Authority (MWRA) Executive Director Fred Laskey announced a new policy to make trails more accessible to the public along several MWRA aqueducts that are no longer in active service.

The new policy includes a set of guidelines to allow public access on the Cochituate, Sudbury, Weston and Wachusett aqueducts. Host communities will be allowed to develop and manage trails, while keeping care and control with the MWRA.
