A combined sewer is a sewer that carries both storm water and sanitary sewage (wastewater from your drains and toilets) to a treatment plant for treatment. A combined sewer overflow (CSO) is a release of untreated wastewater from a combined sewer directly into the environment. Typically, this happens during a rainstorm.
