No. They are completely separate facilities. Household wastewater is collected by the sanitary sewer system and pumped to the Hampton Roads Sanitation District (HRSD) for treatment and disposal. Rainfall and storm water runoff are collected through storm drains and ditches. This water is not treated before being released into the environment.
