About this event
Sewer backups are more than an inconvenience—they pose serious risks to public health, property, and the environment. This virtual presentation explores how local governments can proactively prevent sewer system failures through effective planning, maintenance, and community engagement. We’ll examine the common causes of backups, including aging infrastructure, stormwater infiltration, and improper disposal practices. Attendees will learn about practical solutions such as routine system inspections, infrastructure upgrades, smart monitoring technologies, and public education campaigns to reduce blockages. By combining data-driven decision-making with clear policies and community partnerships, local governments can reduce costly emergencies, improve system reliability, and protect residents from avoidable disruptions.
