Sewer Collection System Model Value

Program Spotlights & Video Gallery

Sewer Collection System Model
In 2003, the City embarked on creating a computer model of its sewer collection system. The primary purpose was to support development of the (2009) CSO Long Term Control Plan (LTCP), by characterizing sewer system components, improving understanding of system operations, and identifying cost effective controls. The model was used to develop the original LTCP in 2009 and for LTCP updates in 2014 and 2021. The model informs CSO project designs by identifying concerns and constraints. As the model evolves, changes to the sewer system are continually incorporated. This allows the team to identify cost-effective controls and answer complex questions.

Background on the SEB Program

Engaging EEIP

CSO works to encourage small businesses, to create opportunities within CSO projects and to educate youth through its Economic Inclusion Plan.
 

Getting SEBs Involved

CSO reaches out to small and emerging small businesses (SEBs) and contractors through informational events before bids go out and connects them to resources designed to help them bid better in order to grow their businesses.
 

How the REACH Program Works

CSO does outreach events with the REACH program through the Chamber of Commerce, which aligns projects with work opportunities in the community.

Using Local Contractors

Besides the emphasis on working with small businesses, CSO has awarded 80% of contracts to local contractors, which strengthens Omaha’s local economy.
