Number of sewer overflows in the U.S. 2001-2024

The number of combined sewer overflows in the United States has increased in recent years. From January 1 to June 10, 2024, 765 combined sewer overflows occurred in the U.S., already overshadowing the number of cases reported at the beginning of the century. A combined sewer system collects rainwater, and domestic and industrial wastewater into one pipe, to later be transported to a treatment plant. When the capacity of these systems gets exceeded, untreated runoff flows to nearby waterbodies. In the U.S. combined sewers are mostly located in the Northeast.
