Combined Sewer Overflow Committee

JWW_CommitteeIcons_CSOC-WhiteBG

<h3>GOAL: Smart Combined Sewer Overflow (CSO) Plans</h3>
Municipalities and utilities adopt innovative CSO Long Term Control Plans (LTCPs) with cost-effective 
solutions that meet or exceed permit requirements and provide multiple community benefits.
<h4>4.1 Balancing Pipes and Parks</h4>
LTCPs incorporate and commit to an optimized balance of green and gray infrastructure to achieve the 
goals of the Clean Water Act.
<h4>4.2 Reducing Combined Sewer Flows</h4>
LTCPs prioritize proven approaches that reduce combined sewer system flows, such as inflow and infiltration (I &amp; I) reduction, green stormwater infrastructure and water conservation.
<h4>4.3 Serving Host Communities</h4>
Implementation of the LTCPs reflects early input of community stakeholders and delivers significant additional community benefits including improved public health, green space, economic revitalization and local jobs.
<h4>4.4 Affordable Combined Sewer Overflow (CSO) Solutions</h4>
CSO LTCPs help ensure affordability for all ratepayers by using cost-effective overflow-reduction 
strategies, state and federal funding assistance, equitable rate structures, innovative financing mechanisms, appropriate implementation schedules and leveraging of other public and private investments.
