Description
Summary:In 1992, the city of Richmond, Virginia, was moving forward on a $35-million plan to eliminate combined sewer overflows (CSOs) by constructing a 7,000 ft. pipeline to collect CSO outfalls from the north bank of the James River. Led by Richmond's Department of Public Utilities (DPU), the sewer project called for a 96 in. diameter pipeline and four hydraulic regulators to capture flows from step lateral truck sewers and divert them to the CSO pipeline. At the same time, a group of private investors formed the Richmond Riverfront Development Corp. (RRDC) to restore the city's historic Haxall/Kanawha Canal system. When the DPU and the RRDC met to explore possible alignments for the sewer, they realized that combining the projects could save considerable amounts of time and money.
