Sewer System Management Plan (SSMP)

The State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) adopted Order No. 2022-0103-DWQ on December 6, 2022. This statewide Waste Discharge Requirements (WDRs) General Order for Sanitary Sewer Systems applies to all public agencies that own or operate a wastewater collection system greater than one mile in length.

The order requires each agency to develop a Sewer System Management Plan (SSMP) that documents how the system is operated, maintained, and managed in order to minimize the risk of sanitary sewer overflows (SSOs) and protect water quality.

For sewer emergencies (e.g., backups or overflows), call the Los Angeles County Consolidated Sewer Maintenance District 24-Hour Help Line at 1-800-675-HELP (4357).
