BEWARE! Alewife Brook flooded yesterday, making the Greenway path impassible. Actually, we stopped one jogger from running into that contaminated water. He was determined not to continue. But there are PCBs, PAHs, and heavy metals in the brook sediment.Submitted by SaveTheAlewifeBrook t3_zu9v07 in CambridgeMA

Alewife Brook was hydrologically connected to Fresh Pond. In fact, the Alewife Brook used to be a substantial river before that connection was severed. Some people believe the connection is still there. But it would take a large storm event for the Alewife water to get into Fresh Pond.

Like a storm event significant enough to cause flooding in the area?
