For more than eight years, we’ve researched, studied, mapped, negotiated and, most importantly, progressed a project that aims to redefine our County’s wastewater system. Why? The Oneida County Sewer District (OCSD) Sanitary Sewer Overflow Mitigation Project is vital to restoring and maintaining our aging conveyance system. This critical infrastructure is key to future economic development within our region. Without enhancement, progress within the OCSD simply cannot advance. Guided by the input and collaboration of our project steering committee, a group consisting of representatives from each District municipality, we’re proud to share with you the significant accomplishments outlined in the following pages. Our achievements include advancing critical rehabilitation and repair projects, establishing standard processes to ensure the continued and consistent maintenance of our District’s system, the start of data collection with the final installation of flow meters, and expanding public and resident awareness and support. While our work is far from over, let’s take a step back and appreciate what can be accomplished when we work together. Anthony J.
