CSO! Program: Schedule


Sewer separation

Design and construction of the CSO Solutions will take place in phases over the next 15 years. CSO Solutions have been divided into two groups: Major Projects and Sewer Separation Projects. Preliminary implementation schedules for both groups by phase are shown below. Implementation schedules were phased based on relative importance of adverse impacts on water quality and designated uses, the City of Omaha's financial capability and to reflect projects that could be accomplished concurrently. 

The overall final milestone of October, 2024 will likely remain unchanged. However, individual phase milestones may change depending on unforeseen circumstances and with the concurrence of the Nebraska Department of Environmental Quality.
