Sewer System Management Plan (SSMP)

The Sewer System Management Plan (SSMP) is a document that all public sewer system agencies are required to develop and implement under an order issued by the State Water Resources Control Board (Order 2006-003-DWQ), and by similar requirements issued by the SF Bay Regional Water Quality Control Board. The purpose of the SSMP is to facilitate proper management of the sewer system (a.k.a. collection system), and in so doing, reduce occurrences of sanitary sewer overflows (SSOs).
