High flows caused by an intense rain storm on June 29th resulted in the discharge of a combination of sewage and stormwater from CSO at Pine Street CSO. This is an authorized discharge intended to protect the sewer system, to prevent overflows from other parts of the sewer system, and to prevent backups into homes and other buildings. We received 2.32 inches of rain measured at the Main wastewater plant. At 12 hours the CSO was still discharging.
