The Problem
CSO events occur when sewer systems are operating over capacity, causing untreated wastewater to overflow into rivers, lakes, or other natural water bodies. These incidents lead to environmental damage, regulatory penalties, and expensive cleanup operations. Utilities face increasing pressure to respond quickly, accurately report incidents, and avoid escalating costs while complying with stricter environmental standards.
