Zero Sanitary Sewer Overflows Throughout City |
Ongoing |
 |
|
2021-22: Sanitary Sewer Overflows (SSOs) were prevented this past year through rigorous cleaning of those areas in the collection system we know are Pron to plugging. The problem sewers are on a cleaning rotation to prevent SSOs. We had a few SSOs this last year due to sabotage and construction carelessness by others. These SSOs were minor in quantity of spillage and were all reported to DEQ. |
