Abstract Text | ABSTRACT This presentation will focus on three (3) chronic SSO areas within Jefferson County’s system (Wickstead, Lincoln Ave, and 4th Avenue) that have been corrected. The presentation will describe the past SSO history and discuss the frequency and volume of the SSOs at each location. A step-by-step description of the evaluation process, including planning, design, construction, and post evaluation will also be discussed. Each of these areas had a different issue that had to be resolved. The Lincoln Avenue project included many “depressed sewers” that were installed to make way for a water line. Wickstead included a long time SSO in a customer’s front year near his house that was reported to the County and the news media on a regular basis. The 4th Avenue project also had an SSO in the front yard of a customer that was reported to the County and the news media on a regular basis for years prior to correction. Determining the appropriate corrective action for each of these SSOs, was the first major step toward resolving these chronic SSOs. Before the solution was determined, the area had to modeled and the model had to include the downstream area to avoid just relocating the SSO. If the solution did not work, the customers, the news media, and the public would never let this go.
