Combined Sewer Overflows Program—Funding will be provided to public works <br /> • departments and/or other municipal departments within the watershed to eliminate CSOs. <br /> Problem: <br /> Any inflow of rainwater into the sanitary sewer system; i.e. parking lot and yard drains, <br /> area-way drains, street catch basins and building downspout connections, severely <br /> overloads the sewer systems of municipalities in the MMRWMO. To avoid backflow <br /> into homes in the municipality, the excessive flow is either directed to the river at <br /> designated overflow points. <br /> Watershed-wide project objectives include: <br /> 1. Determine excessive inflow areas in member municipalities <br /> 2. Determine capacity bottlenecks that influence CSOs. <br /> 3. Provide a prioritized list of high inflow areas <br /> 4. Establish alternative improvements to eliminate CSOs <br /> Figure 1 shows the combined flows with overflow to the river: <br /> Fig 1. <br /> F1 11 <br /> FRI <br /> jd d <br /> ®® o® FI-11 19 3 d <br /> ❑ M 76 a <br /> Si4l IN112N.SL 110LISL �� <br /> iU.v�li ll1IV ioNu(iil���� <br /> SANITARY SEWER OVEFFI0"A' <br /> :7 <br /> COMBINED FLOW Q f <br /> • J <br /> Combined _Flows with J OUTFALL_ <br /> Over--flow -to River° <br /> MISSISSIPPI RIVER <br /> INTERCEPTOF SE1Y'ER - <br /> (Flow to ircaoncm Phni) <br /> Combined Sewer Overflows Program <br /> G <br /> I <br /> L: <br />
