Clifton Heights Storage Basin
Basins are a key part of achieving safe, clean waterways
Rainwater can enter the sewer system during rain events and cause a mixture of sewage and rainwater to flow untreated into our waterways. Proposed and existing storage basins—throughout our city—are designed to retain the mixture of rainwater and sewage until the rain subsides, and then gradually release it back into the sewer system for treatment.
Clifton Heights Storage Basin
The Clifton Heights Basin will be mostly underground and covered. A small building above it will include pumps and equipment for operation. This basin will offer Beargrass Creek protection from combined sewer overflows.
