High flows caused by an intense rain storm on July 18th, resulted in the discharge of a combination of sewage and stormwater from the 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. The duration of time is stated longer than actual. There was a mechanical issue with the alarm which prevented the alarm from resetting when the CSO stopped discharging. The stop time is when staff reset the alarm. The flow has been approximated in the 100,000-500,000 gallons range. historical data shows the flow around 150,000 gallons or less.
