Additional Comments: This project is being designed as part of the Deer Creek Sanitary System Improvements (11110)
Watershed Consultant contract. The appropriation for design services is equal to the proposed funding presented in the CIP
Budget Supplement.
The appropriation provides for the future removal of constructed Sanitary Sewer Overflows (SSO) on the Deer Creek Trunk
which includes BP-155, BP-170, BP-198, BP-348, BP-349, BP-545, and BP-591. Constructed SSOs on the Black Creek
