The Cooperative Approach to CSO reduction program
- Reduce Stormwater inflow to the sanitary sewer by separating private property stormwater systems from the sanitary sewer.
- Assist Bremerton's property owners in the separation of stormwater from the sanitary sewer system to get their property in compliance with City ordinance.
- Educate citizens, elected officials, business and property owners about CSOs, point source pollution and the requirements placed on the City by state and federal regulations.
Program purpose:
The City of Bremerton provides free site assessments and works with the property owners of Bremerton to find a workable solution to reduce or eliminate stormwater inflow to the sanitary sewer system from their property. City ordinance requires the elimination of stormwater discharges to the sanitary sewer system by January 2005. If a property maintains the connection to the sanitary sewer a surcharge/fee for the type of connection they have has been added to their sewer bill. This fee is called the "SW Facility Impact" fee.
