Infrastructure Maintenance Increasing regulatory and legal pressure to reduce the number and severity of Sanitary Sewer Overflows (SSOs) that occur in the City each year has resulted in the development of a comprehensive multi-year strategic plan to completely evaluate and refocus DOT’s sanitary sewer maintenance activities.
