COMBINED SANITARY STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PROGRAM INTRODUCTION

The Sewer Authority of the City of Scranton (SSA) owns the wastewater collection, conveyance and treatment system serving Scranton and Dunmore. The SSA also treats wastewater from sections of Dickson City, Moosic and Taylor. The wastewater system consists of over 275 miles of collection sewers and large interceptors, 80 combined sewer regulator chambers, seven pumping stations and a Wastewater Treatment Plant. Approximately 63% (172 miles) of the collection sewers are combined sewers, which convey the combined storm water and sanitary sewage flow to regulator chambers prior to connection with an interceptor sewer. When the volume of storm water exceeds the capacity of downstream facilities, these regulator chambers allow the excess volume to discharge into nearby surface waters. These overflows, called Combined Sewer Overflows, or CSOs, can be a major source of water pollution.
