ing an area where flooding had occurred,
in turn, hydraulic capacity analysis was per-

of key integral businesses which included

and Hatch Mott McDonald, the group has
been successful through five phases of the
Master plan with another six to go. One of
the objectives of the most recent project is
ensuring that both the combined system and
separated system are handled by a controlled
device which will only permit the amount of
water into their systems that can be handled
without their systems surcharging. Another
integral area, is looking at improvements to
increase sewer capacity issues and better fa-
cilitate drain release (i.e. if there is a sag in
