A SYSTEMATIC METHODOLOGY FOR THE IDENTIFICATION AND REMEDIATION OF ILLEGAL CONNECTIONS

Abstract

INTRODUCTION In 1999, the Boston Water and Sewer Commission (Commission) implemented an innovative approach to identify and correct illegal (illicit) connections to its storm drain system.

This paper provides a summary of the Commission's illegal connection remediation program and the investigative approach that was implemented.
