What causes sewage surcharges?

0

When we experience very heavy rain and wet weather/flood events, a large volume of stormwater is created. Stormwater often gets into the sewerage system and the system is not designed to handle the capacity of water that falls during floods. At times like this, sewage can sometimes surcharge through manholes and other overflow infrastructure.
