About 770 cities in the US have combined sewer overflows, which are designed to collect stormwater, urban runoff, and sewage in the same pipe. In dry weather conditions, all of the wastewater will go to a treatment plant for processing; in extreme precipitation events, the wastewater can overflow into a local watershed.
