Completed Projects

Quail Street Green Infrastructure Project

The project was a demonstration project and is collects the first three inches of rainfall in separated storm sewers and porous pavement in the maintenance areas between sidewalks and curbs. This runoff is directed to bio-retention basins below grade, and returned to the combined sewer system once the flow in the sewer subsides.

Elberon Place CSO Abatement & Flood Mitigation Project

New stormwater catch basins and pipe have been installed to convey rainwater separate from the large diameter combined sewer overflow (CSO) pipe under Elberon Place.

Hansen Alley Overflow Abatement & Flood Mitigation Project

Stormwater runoff is now collected in new separated storm sewer pipes and conveyed to the underground detention chamber system in left and center field of Central Babe Ruth.

Beaver Creek Phase 6

Over 20 years ago the Albany Water Board initiated stormwater sewer separation around Albany High School, and at several other locations on the Beaver Creek sewer shed. This work was referred to as Beaver Creek Phases 1 through 5.

With the completion of phase 6 in 2019, the Albany School District and AWD now have over 2 million gallons of separated storm sewer controlled by real time controls.
