Board adopts updated Sewer System Management Plan, adds CCTV and outreach steps

The board voted to adopt an updated Sewer System Management Plan (SSMP) that brings the district into compliance with recent regulatory layout and resilience requirements and adds operational steps such as CCTV inspection of pipelines within a half‑mile of the ocean.

Staff described the SSMP as a ‘living document’ designed for ongoing implementation and monitoring; it includes updated implementation schedules, a spill emergency response plan and plans for staff training. Directors praised the work and said it should improve how the district tracks implementation and performance indicators.

The plan requires periodic audits and follow‑up. Directors discussed adding CCTV footage to GIS for inspection and public transparency and invited public participation in future plan implementation updates.

The board moved, seconded and carried the SSMP adoption motion during the meeting.
