pumping from the storage tunnel , a significant portion of that combined sewer overflow or untreated “ raw water ,” keeping it from entering the lake unchecked .
“ With this current phase NEORSD will stop one billion gallons from going to the lake ,” says Weitzel . “ What this does is store it in an overflow situation , where the raw water overflow would go into the storage tunnel instead of out to the lake . Then the storage tunnel will hold that overflow until they can handle treating it at the treatment plant . Instead of getting a billion gallons of water going through the
plant , and not being able to handle it in the moment , they can store it in this 24 ’ -diameter storage tunnel . Then , with completion of our project , they can pump the water out of the storage tunnel , and into an interceptor that gravity feeds back to the treatment plant , so that they can treat it .”
As a result of this project it is estimated that one billion gallons of water can be saved from entering the lake untreated each year , resulting in cleaner and safer conditions for residents in Cleveland and throughout Northeastern Ohio .
