Confederate Avenue CSO Regulator

The Confederate Avenue CSO Regulator Facility  is located at 1059 Lester Avenue, SE in a residential area. Constructed in the mid-1980s, the Confederate Avenue CSO Regulator Facility is one of two CSO Regulator Facilities that serves an east area combined sewershed (the Stockade sub-basin) and has a maximum overflow capacity of approximately 790 mgd. The other CSO Regulator Facility is the Boulevard CSO Regulator Facility. [LINK]. Together, the Boulevard and Confederate CSO Regulator Facilities divert dry weather flow to existing interceptors (24-inch (Confederate)) for ultimate treatment at the South River WRC (via an interceptor that first leads to the Intrenchment Creek WRC). When flow exceeds the interceptor capacity, (10 million gallons per day, or mgd, for the Confederate CSO Regulator), control gates on the interceptors close and the CSO is directed to the Custer CSO Facility via an open concrete conveyance channel. Sodium hypochlorite is added prior to flow discharge into the conveyance channels. The conveyance channels from the Boulevard and Confederate CSO Regulator Facilities merge into one prior to entering the Custer CSO facility.
