How it tells the public

No CSO-specific channel. The town's CivicPlus Alert Center has a DPW category RSS (https://www.hartfordvt.gov/RSSFeed.aspx?ModID=63&CID=Department-of-Public-Works-11) with no wastewater posts seen. State ANR public alerts are used (e.g. ID 4299, 2026-10-23). | Statewide: every VT permittee must post a public alert at https://anrweb.vt.gov/DEC/WWInventory/SewageOverflows.aspx within 1 hour of discovery (10 V.S.A. § 1295(b)).

How these charts are counted

Discharge events are counted once: where a source publishes both public notices and verified reports (MassDEP, Vermont DEC), a discharger's month with any verified report counts its verified reports only, and other months count notices. Revisions are folded into the record they revise, and EPA copies of a state report are not counted twice. Monthly and yearly totals (Maine DEP, EPA discharge monitoring reports, Portsmouth) are shown on their own and never added to the event counts. Hours under advisory follow the map's red rules. A muted band marks periods no source covers: a gap there is missing data, not a quiet month.
