Combined Sewer Improvements

Combined Sewer Improvements involve upgrading urban sewer systems that carry both rainwater and wastewater in the same pipes. These improvements aim to reduce overflows during heavy rains, which can lead to polluted water entering local waterways. Upgrades may include adding storage tanks, separating stormwater from wastewater, or installing new treatment facilities. The goal is to enhance water quality, protect the environment, and ensure the sewer system functions efficiently even during storms. These improvements address aging infrastructure issues and help communities manage storm-related water challenges more effectively.
