What Does CSO Stand For?

CSO stands for Combined Sewage Overflow S

CSO, or Combined Sewage Overflow, refers to a system designed to manage the overflow of sewage and stormwater when the volume exceeds the capacity of the sewer infrastructure. This typically occurs during heavy rainfall or snowmelt, leading to the discharge of untreated or partially treated wastewater into nearby water bodies. CSOs are a critical consideration in urban planning and environmental management, as they impact water quality and public health. Efforts to reduce CSO events often involve infrastructure improvements, regulatory measures, and sustainable stormwater management practices.
