“Multiple outfalls may be discharging during this storm event. The location is for the outfall that typically discharges the largest volume. There are other outfalls that are upstream of this location. The volume is estimated from the model that predicts 739 million gallons per year over the average number of discharges per year, 58. To see which outfalls may be discharging during the current storm event, please see the Albany Pool Website at: https://www.albanypoolcso.org/”
