CLEAN AND ABUNDANT WATER FOR HUMAN COMMUNITIES Improve Drinking Water Quality and Water Related Infrastructure to Protect Public Health
The main purpose of the Martin Slough Wastewater Interceptor Project is to protect human health and the Humboldt Bay ecosystem. The project consists of constructing a wastewater collection and conveyance system that reduces the incidences of Sanitary Sewer Overflows (SSO’s) in the Martin Slough basin, thereby avoiding reductions in water quality in the aquatic environment.
