General Committee Focus

This committee focuses on issues associated with wastewater collection systems.

Statewide Waste Discharge Requirements (WDR) for Collection Systems

CVCWA and Bay Area Clean Water Agencies (BACWA) have prepared a manual for collection system owners titled "Best Management Practices for Sanitary Sewer Overflow (SSO) Reduction Strategies".  This manual is available as a free resource on the CVCWA and BACWA websites. The final manual was approved by the CVCWA Board of Directors on December 2, 2009.  It will be updated periodically as significant changes are identified, and the updates will be posted here.
