Congress takes an interest in sewer overflows
February 5, 2009

Representative Timothy Bishop (D-NY) has introduced HR 753 in the US House of Representatives, a resolution to amend the Federal Water Pollution Control act to require wastewater systems and sewer agencies to notify the public within 24 hours of a sewer overflow and create a complete database of sewer overflows for public review. The need for quick responses to sewer overflows is part of the reason for a recent surge in interest in our portable lift stations, which can be used to provide automatic, unattended operation at sites where wastewater pump stations have failed due to mechanical problems or loss of power.
