Combined Sewer Overflow (CSO)
Level measurement in the stormwater overflow chamber
Application
Large Combined Sewer Overflows (CSO’s) protect the wastewater treatment plant from a capacity overload during heavy rain. The precipitation is temporarily stored and then delivered to the treatment plant at a reduced rate. If the stormwater basin cannot hold the accumulating quantities of water, part of it will be discharged. Due to legal requirements, such operational events and discharged water quantities have to be measured and documented.
