BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
The State Water Resources Control Board requires all agencies that own or operate a sanitary sewer system to develop and maintain a Sewer System Management Plan (SSMP) under General Order 2022-0103-DWQ. The SSMP details City sewer system operations, maintenance and emergency response procedures and programs. The Plan requires periodic updates and re-approvals to ensure compliance and improve system management.
The City SSMP contains updates to reflect operational strategies, regulatory requirements and industry best practices which enhance the City's ability to efficiently manage the sewer system, prevent sanitary sewer overflows and comply with state mandates. City staff worked with the consultant, Fischer Compliance, to ensure the revised plan aligns with latest standards. These updates will improve system reliability and mitigate potential sewer issues, supporting the City’s commitment to effective sewer management.
