He then stated, I polled a few members of the public in <br /> attendance and it seems the biggest interest today is the update on the recent flooding event. That <br /> will take precedence with regard to the presentation. The CSO issue is something that has been <br /> going on in the community and that is the Combined Sewer Overflow. That plays a part in the <br /> flooding issue and also has to deal with water treatment. The process with regard to the CSO is <br /> continuing in the hope that the original Consent Decree, which was approaching $1 billion, could <br /> be brought down to something more affordable for the City while obtaining the same results. <br /> Councilmember Jo M. Broden arrived at the meeting at 5:32 p.m. <br /> Committee Chair Dr. Varner proceeded to give the floor to the presenters. <br /> Flood update and any lessons learned <br /> Sewer issues in the low-lying areas of South Bend <br /> Eric Horvath,Director of Public Works with offices on the 13`h floor of the County-City Building, <br /> stated, Good evening and thank you for inviting me to present.
