Sewer System Management Plan
On May 2, 2006, the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) adopted Order Number 2006-0003-DWQ, Waste Discharge Requirements (WDRs), which requires all federal and state agencies, municipalities, counties, districts, and other public entities that own or operate a wastewater collection system greater than one (1) mile in length to develop and implement a system specific Sewer System Management Plan (SSMP). The SSMP must document how an agency manages its wastewater collection system.
This SSMP provides a summary of the action plan implemented by the County to comply with the requirements imposed by the WDRs and other governing agencies. It includes a description of the activities and procedures that District staff follow to efficiently manage, operate, and maintain the sanitary sewer system and to minimize the risk of sanitary sewer overflows (SSOs).
- Minimize the frequency and impact of sanitary sewer overflows (SSOs)
- Effectively and efficiently mitigate the impacts of SSOs should they occur
- Provide adequate sewer capacity to convey peak flows
- Maintain and improve the condition of the collection system infrastructure to provide continual reliable service
- Engage and educate the public regarding programs and issues related to the wastewater collection system
