Major SRWTP Spills

A major SRWTP spill occurs when wastewater that is not fully treated leaves the treatment plant property, gets into a stream or river, endangers public health and/or creates a nuisance.

Target

A numeric target has not been set at this time. SRCSD will continue to collect data during the coming years and will establish a target in the future.

Purpose

This Service Level reflects proper capacity, operation and maintenance of facilities at the SRWTP.

Critical Activities

Critical work activities that influence spills include planning for adequate system capacity, designing reliable facilities, maintaining facilities to assure that they are in good operating condition, training staff to assure that good operational practices are followed, and implementing methods to detect and respond to spills quickly. Even if facilities are managed properly, spills can still occur because of extreme or unusual operating conditions that were not planned for during the design of the facilities.

2009 Performance

There were no major SRWTP spills in 2009.
