CSO! Program: Schedule


Sewer separation

Design and construction of the CSO Solutions will take place in phases between now and October 2027. This is a three year extension beyond the original Program end date due to flooding during the summer of 2011.

CSO Solutions have been divided into two groups: Major Projects and Sewer Separation Projects and implementation phases for both groups are shown below.

Implementation phases were based on relative importance of adverse impacts on water quality and designated uses, the City of Omaha's financial capability and to reflect projects that could be accomplished concurrently. Due to the three year extension, new schedules for each phase are currently being discussed with the Nebraska Department of Environmental Quality.
