That is really neat. I never imagined the complexity and sophistication of the system. I had heard about the truck-size brick-lined tunnel – I think it runs under Broad Street.
The first pic shows 2 pipes underground, one for domestic sewer and one for storm water.
This condition generally does not exist. Domestic sewer and stormwater are in the same pipe.
During dry periods domestic sewer flows to the treatment plant.
During wet periods domestic sewer and storm water flow to the treatment plant until the capacity at the treatment plant is reached. During the heavy wet periods the excess flows into tanks, and when the are full, it all flows into the river.
Richmond is a cso, combined sewer overflow city, csm combined sewer management is the feel good term for sending sewerage into the river

Great video! Home owners should watch

I love this stuff so much. Shockoe Creek, CSO overflow, floodwalls, canals, all that stuff!

Mark Holmberg @HolmbergCBS6 could have made that into a entertaining 2 minute video. It was surprisingly informative but poorly produced.
Where on earth is this 1-1/3 mile, 14-foot tall tunnel?
7 look in the canal and creek
