With severe wet weather conditions in NEW Water’s service area last night and continuing into this evening, our community’s shared sanitary sewer system has been inundated with stormwater. At its peak, NEW Water’s system received about 214 million gallons per day; on average, we treat 41 million gallons per day. This is more than 5 times the average flow.
