Richmond, VA-The City of Richmond Department of Public Utilities will host a virtual community meeting to share details about the upcoming Combined Sewer Overflow (CSO) project at Canoe Run Park in the 5th District. This project is part of the state-mandated CSO Final Plan and collectively will reduce overflows into the James River by an estimated 83 million gallons annually.

The meeting will inform residents, commuters, and visitors about construction plans and anticipated impacts to the community. City staff will also provide background on the CSO Law (Senate Bill 1064) passed by the Virginia General Assembly in 2020, which requires improvements to the region’s combined sewer systems. This project supports Richmond’s efforts to improve water quality, reduce flood risk, and protect public health and the environment for all Virginians.
