Learn how green infrastructure is part of Buffalo Sewer’s Long Term Control Plan
Buffalo Sewer has developed a Long Term Control Plan (LTCP) to abate CSO discharges from its sewer system. The plan contains a balance of traditional gray infrastructure, “smart” solutions that use real time control sensors, and innovative “green” solutions. The LTCP was developed in consultation with a community stakeholder panel and benefited from formal and informal stakeholder input over the past decade.
