Developing a Municipal Downspout Disconnect and Green Infrastructure Program

Other Titles

Abstract

Runoff from more frequent and higher intensity storms coupled with increased impervious surfaces are causing capacity problems at wastewater treatment plants. Nuisance flooding in roadways and basements is also a result of these storms and constraints on wastewater infrastructure capacity. One solution that municipalities can use to address runoff is to implement residential downspout disconnect and green infrastructure programs. The result is cost savings for wastewater utilities and decreased combined sewer overflow and stormwater runoff in neighborhoods and local waterways.
