Sewer System Management Plan (SSMP)
To facilitate proper funding and management of sanitary sewer systems, under the State Water Board Order, the City must develop and implement a system-specific Sewer System Management Plan (SSMP). To be effective, SSMPs must include provisions to provide proper and efficient management, operation, and maintenance of sanitary sewer systems, while taking into consideration risk management and cost benefit analysis.
