This webinar introduces viewers to the issue of combined sewer overflows (CSOs), events that occur when an excessive amount of stormwater enters our local sewer system, causing it to overflow and expel untreated sewage into local waterways. Viewers will deepen their understanding of what causes CSOs, and how stormwater management tactics, including use of green infrastructure and minimizing of water usage on rainy days can help to reduce the change of a CSO occurring.
