A storm-connected sewer, also known as a combined sewer, is a wastewater system that collects both stormwater runoff and sewage in a single pipe. During heavy rain events, this system can become overwhelmed, leading to the discharge of untreated wastewater and stormwater into nearby water bodies, which poses environmental and public health risks. Efforts to manage these systems often include the construction of overflow facilities and green infrastructure to mitigate pollution and reduce the volume of runoff.
