How will communities financially accomplish the tasks required?
Fixing the sewage overflow problem in the regions municipal collection system could cost up to $2 billion for ALCOSAN communities. However, through the 3 Rivers Wet Weather Basin Groups, municipalities are exploring ways to share resources and costs to fix the problem using fewer dollars. In addition, 3RWWDP receives some federal funding to help support the communities in their efforts. Communities are encouraged to begin budgeting for activities over several years to help lessen the impact on their municipality’s annual budget.
