June 20, 2019
In a few weeks we will find out about the options under consideration to stop sewage overflows in New Jersey.  On July 1, 2019, the Development and Evaluation of Alternatives reports are due to the NJDEP and will be posted online for public review in the coming days. Although this is not the final selection of solutions to combined sewer overflows, this report will provide an idea of the directions the CSO plans are taking, including, for example, how much green or gray your city is considering and how much it will cost.  Learn more.
Do you live in a community with a combined sewer system? Do you know who is responsible for developing a plan to stop sewage overflows?
The Sewage-Free Streets and Rivers campaign launched a CSO directory to help connect you with the people who are in charge of sewage overflows in your town. The directory lists the cities with combined sewer systems in New Jersey and the sewer treatment plants that service these communities. Learn more .
