Why this status: Caution: caution rule for sanitary sewer overflows (SSO), 72 hours after the reported end.
Why we use this rule: Sanitary sewer discharges can contain concentrated sewage. We use a caution period of 72 hours after the reported end. Smaller reported volumes do not establish lower risk at a particular spot.
