Mt. Washington Source Control
Overview
About 47 properties along Woodlark Drive, Thornbird Drive, Lusanne Terrace, and Mayland Drive in Mt. Washington had been experiencing chronic sewer backups since 2011. MSD designed and constructed a solution that helped reduce their sewer backups and also allows for future stormwater controls to reduce combined sewer overflows (CSOs) from CSO 182 into Berkshire Creek, a tributary of the Little Miami River.
The project included new storm sewers along Woodlark, vicinity of Thornbird, Lusanne, Mayland, Glade Avenue, and Beacon Road to capture stormwater and convey it to a new downstream connection point on the existing combined sewer north of the intersection of Beacon Road and Ambar Avenue (see project map above).
MSD installed about 4,400 feet of storm sewer, ranging in diameter from 12 to 54 inches.
