Re_con 01 proposes using rainwater treatment beds to reduce the impact of combined sewer overflow (cso) in the east liberty region. Re_con 01/02 also advocates for the employment of a standard drain-waste-vent system to remove sanitary and household waste from the building.
Drain-waste-vent system The drain-waste-vent system is clearly the most common sanitary system utilized in the united states fundamentally, it relies on gravity to remove waste from a building or household. Critical to the system’s reliance on gravity is the slope of piping components (the “drain” in the system’s namesake), a minimum of 1/4” per linear horizontal foot.
Orange alert Pittsburgh has a combined sewer system, meaning that all sanitary waste shares a sewer system with stormwater. Pittsburgh experiences about 38 inches of rainfall annually. Pittsburgh’s system is designed to pump overflow raw sewage directly into the monongahela, allegheny, and ohio rivers.

Constructed Wetlands Constructed Wetlands Can Be Very Efficient And Inexpensive Methods To Manage And Control Excess Greywater. Either Built Into A Terrain As A Swale Or As A Standalone Structure (Similar To A Planter), These Devices Use The Power Of Aquatic Plants To Clean Water, Divert Large Portions Of Water From City Sewage Systems, And Slowly Release The Remainder Into Municipal Sewage Systems Thus Reducing The Potential For Overflow.
