Q. What is the capacity of our
sanitary sewer system (minus the plant)?
A. The capacity of the sanitary sewer system, minus the
plant, varies depending on location. Upstream pipes serving individual
neighborhoods (typically 8-inch diameter sewers) have a capacity large enough
to meet the needs of a smaller area, and downstream interceptors serving large
portions of the City have a higher capacity. The key item is the capacity of
the pipe, compared to the expected design flow under wet weather conditions.
These values will be developed for the trunk sewers and interceptors in the
Sanitary Sewer Wet Weather Evaluation (SSWWE) project.
