Jeremiah Smith: “I am introducing the Combined Sewer Overflow Control and Partnership…”

On the recordApril 29, 1999

I am introducing the Combined Sewer Overflow Control and Partnership Act of 1999. The control of overflows from sewer systems is a serious environmental and financial concern for hundreds of communities across this country. For my own state of New Hampshire, there are six communities with combined sewer overflow, or CSO, problems. The cities of Manchester, Nashua, Portsmouth, Exeter, Berlin, and Lebanon are all facing this challenge. This legislation is aimed at helping CSO communities comply with Clean Water Act mandates to reduce or eliminate overflows into nearby rivers and streams. CSOs are the last permitted point source discharges of untreated or partially treated sewage into the nation's waters.
