Lynn's sewers are among the oldest in the region. Collection began in 1866 with stone and brick sewers on Union Street, and by 1879 the City Engineer reported that all but 7.5 miles of major streets had been sewered; the Eastern Interceptor (1885-1887) and Western Interceptor (1890-1891) are still egg-shaped and circular brick, 36 to 72 inches. The system runs to 140 miles of pipe and is partly combined, with five permitted overflow points: Summer Street discharging to the Saugus River via Little River, Market Street and Broad Street into Lynn Harbor near Heritage State Park, and Sanderson Avenue and Groveland Street into the Stacey Brook conduit toward King's Beach. For a homeowner the ownership line is what matters most — the Commission maintains the public collection system, and the property owner is responsible for the sewer service line from the house to the main in the street.

Lynn's sewer collection began in 1866 with stone and brick sewers on Union Street; by 1879 all but 7.5 miles of major streets had been sewered. The Eastern Interceptor (1885-1887, about 1,000 feet, egg-shaped brick 40-72 inches) and the Western Interceptor (1890-1891, about 10,400 feet, mixed egg-shaped and circular, 36-72 inches) remain in the system, which totals 140 miles of pipe.
Property owners are responsible for the sewer service line from their home to the street main; the Commission maintains the public collection infrastructure.
Lynn has five combined sewer overflows: Summer Street (CSO 003) at the Strawberry Brook Culvert discharging to the Saugus River via Little River; Market Street (CSO 004) and Broad Street (CSO 005) discharging into Lynn Harbor near Heritage State Park; and Sanderson Avenue (CSO 006) and Groveland Street (CSO 006A) discharging to the Stacey Brook Stormwater Conduit toward King's Beach. The Commission notes combined sewer systems are common in older cities such as Lynn.
The Commission issues public CSO advisory notifications by email when an overflow occurs due to heavy rainfall, repeats them every 8 hours while an event continues, and sends a cessation notice within 2 hours of the event ending; discharge events are also listed on the MassDEP CSO data portal.
