Beaver Creek Clean River Project

The Beaver Creek Clean River Project, led by the city of Albany, is set to dramatically enhance water quality in the Hudson River. The project is hailed as the most impactful environmental endeavor by the city's water department in decades. Once completed, it has the capacity to screen and disinfect up to 300 million gallons annually of sewage overflow from the Beaver Creek line, a major contributor to pollution in the Hudson, while also mitigating flooding risks. This will improve the city’s overall quality of life as well as the Hudson Rivers ecological system.
