Central Texas WEAT Presents:Consent Decree • January 16th, 2014
In June 2013, the San Antonio Water System (SAWS) approved a settlement agreement, or consent decree (CD), with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to reduce spills from sanitary sewer overflows (SSO); thus joining over 35 other cities across the country working under EPA consent decrees to reduce sewer spills. Under the CD, SAWS will invest an estimated $492 million over the next 10 years to reduce SSOs and maintain its sewer system infrastructure. The work required to comply with the CD over the project term includes system-wide inspection, cleaning and evaluation of sewer pipelines, and targeted replacement and rehabilitation of aging infrastructure. This presentation will review the typical EPA CD development processes and also include an overview of the key elements of the SAWS CD.
