Green Approach to Combined Sewer Overflows Saves Communities Millions
Today the US EPA estimates that there are over 770 communities in 31 states and the District of Columbia with combined sewer systems serving 40 million people. These systems discharge around 850 billion gallons of untreated wastes into rivers, streams, lakes, and estuaries each year, polluting waterways with bacteria and other pathogens, toxic chemicals, pesticides, and debris. Click here to find out how BLA is using cost-effective green technology to help communities address this problem. A “perfect storm” in transportation infrastructure for communities and counties is brewing through a combination of volatile fuel and construction materials, decreasing revenues for road maintenance, uncertainty in future highway funding, and increasing complaints about road conditions. One way for communities and counties to address this critical challenge is to adopt a preventive maintenance approach to prolong the life of their pavement assets. Click here to see how one community tackled this challenge.
