Spill & Overflow Notifications
Sanitary Sewer Overflows (SSOs) is a term used to describe two types of events: sanitary sewer spills and sanitary sewer overflows.
Defining Spills and Overflows
By Georgia’s Environmental Protection Division (EPD) definitions:
A sanitary sewage “spill” is an event in which sewage escapes from the conveyance system and enters the waters of the state.
Sanitary sewage “overflow” is an event in which sewage escapes from the conveyance system but is contained before reaching the waters of the state.
Waters of the State are ponds, creeks, streams, rivers, lakes, etc., including storm drains that carry potential pollutants into the waters of the state.

Help Us Reduce SSOs
MWA customers can always assist the MWA in its endeavors to prevent or reduce SSOs by not pouring grease down the drain and by educating children on the possible dangers of playing near and throwing things into manholes.
