Design Begins of Detroit's Combined Sewer Overflow Solution

摘要

After winning a $73.5-million contract from the Detroit Water and Sewerage Department (dwsd) in February, the Jacobs Engineering Group, of Pasadena, California, has begun working on the design of the 7.5 mi (12 km) long Upper Rouge Combined Sewer Overflow Tunnel. The structure is intended to capture combined sewer overflows (csos) from 30 outfalls that currently discharge to the Rouge River, a waterway that flows through heavily urbanized areas of southeastern Michigan.
