High flows caused by an intense rain storm on 7/17/17 resulted in the discharge of a combination of sewage and stormwater from CSO #001- Calvery Cemetery. 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. In addition, during this event, 26,160 gallons of urban stormwater was treated through the wastewater treatment facility before returning to the environment. Due to a change in environmental conditions, our storms have been more intense and fast moving through our region causing frequent surges of stormwater that overwhelm our ability to treat all of it. These are short duration events causing more reportable events.
