Retention Basin/Combined Sewer/Sanitary Sewer Overflow

 

Macomb County Water Resources Public Survey

The Macomb County Health Department, along with other county agencies, communities and public schools and universities are working hard to protect, clean up and restore our local lakes, rivers and streams. We are interested in knowing the priorities and concerns of local citizens in regard to protection and restoration of our local water resources. By filling out this survey you will be a part of the decisions that will help protect and restore our lakes, rivers and streams. We thank you and appreciate your help by completing this survey.


Combined Sewer Overflows (CSOs): Discharge of a mixture of storm water and domestic waste when the flow capacity of a sewer system is exceeded during rainstorms.

Sanitary Sewer Overflows (SSOs): are discharges of raw sewage from municipal sanitary sewer systems. SSOs can release untreated sewage into basements or out of manholes and onto city streets, playgrounds and into streams before it can reach a treatment facility. SSOs are often caused by blockages in sewer lines and breaks in the sewer lines.
