The objective of this study was to assess the spatial and temporal resolution of Sewer Spills and Overflows (SSO’s) in order to determine possible causes of these events in the City of Seaside. The two major categories of SSO’s in Seaside include those associated with either solidified waste water containing high concentrations of fat, oil, and grease (FOG) or tree roots, that result in blockage of regular sewage flow. These events often cause serious damage to the sewage system and warrant costly remediation measures.
