Narragansett Bay Commission's 2.2-mile Pawtucket Tunnel is the centerpiece of Phase III of the Commission’s Combined Sewer Overflow (CSO) Abatement Program. The project, known comprehensively as RestoredWaters RI, features the deep rock tunnel, located approximately 125 feet below the surface, which will store and transport storm-related sewage to NBC’s Bucklin Point Wastewater Treatment Facility for full treatment before discharge into Narragansett Bay.

This video features the tunnel boring machine (TBM), named “Chloe the Clean Water Cruncher” as a matter of naming traditions, used to mine and construct the tunnel.
