Prior to the comprehensive 12-year plan, what programs and initiatives did WSSC already have in place to minimize SSOs?
WSSC has, and will continue to, invest in proactive sewer maintenance and reconstruction programs, which are designed to prevent SSOs. The Sewer Reconstruction Program is among WSSC’s proactive initiatives aimed at effectively operating and maintaining our wastewater collection system. The program encompasses comprehensive sewer basin studies and sewer main, manhole and house connection reconstruction and replacement. It’s important to note that WSSC has been actively implementing many of the action items in this agreement.
