CSO14 Public Information Session

The project is the fourth of 14 planned separation projects that are part of a broader initiative under the Unified Government’s Consent Decree with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Justice. The estimated $15.8 million total project cost is funded by wastewater user fees. Currently, both stormwater and sanitary sewage - wastewater that is transported from homes and businesses – are collected through a combined sewer pipe for treatment and flow to the wastewater treatment facility.

The Combined Sewer Overflow (CSO) 14 Sewer Separation Project is from 18^th street to the west, Quindaro Boulevard to the north, 12^th Street to the east, and Parallel Parkway to the south. The CSO 14 project will:

• Reduce the amount of overflows of combined sanitary sewage and stormwater to Jersey Creek during wet weather events.
• Reduce costs associated with treating stormwater in the combined sewer system at the Kaw Point Wastewater Treatment Facility.
• Reduce health risks and environmental issues.

To find out more, join the project team for this in-person public information session. One formal presentation will begin at 5:45 PM.
