Abstract
In 1990, the Nashville Metropolitan Department of Water Services began work on its $800 million Overflow Abatement Program to mitigate combined and separate sanitary sewer overflows from its wastewater collection system. Since then, with the cooperation of the community and through an agreement with the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation, the program has completed system improvements costing more than $500 million. The completion of the $26 million Demonbreun Combined Sewer Separation Project played a significant role in the success of the program — eliminating eight overflows from the Demonbreun drainage basin.
