Story Avenue & Main Street Storage Basin
Plans for the proposed Story & Main Combined Sewer Overflow Basin have changed. Advancements in technology now allow the construction of a deep-rock tunnel, which will replace three basins—Lexington and Payne; Story and Main; and, Thirteenth and Rowan streets. The Ohio River Tunnel Project offers the same storage capacity of the three proposed basins for about the same cost. Click here for more information about the Ohio River Tunnel Project.
