Sanitary Sewer Overflow Reporting

The Gull Lake Sewer and Water Authority prides itself in providing consistent professional wastewater collection services to its customers.   Through 50 miles of pipeline, 35 pumping stations and miles of pressurized conduit, sanitary sewer overflows (SSO's) will occasionally occur.   Some of these may result in basement sewer back-ups. 


The Authority is required to report wastewater spills (Sanitary Sewer Overflows-SSO's) to the DEQ and to the Health Department.   The Health Department determines whether sampling and other public hazards exist.


Wastewater spills or wastewater overflows are not the same as basement back-ups that homeowners often experience when their own piping system fails or is plugged.


This section provides reports of our reportable wastewater spills and includes the SSO operating procedure guide.
