City of Antioch Sewer System Management Plan (SSMP)

The City of Antioch is developing and implementing a Sewer System Management Plan (SSMP) pursuant to State Water Resources Control Board Order 2006-0003, Statewide General Discharge Requirements of Sanitary Sewer Systems. The goal of the SSMP is to minimize the frequency and severity of sanitary sewer overflows. The SSMP will cover the management, planning, design, and operation and maintenance of the agency’s sanitary sewer system. The development process began in January 2007 and it is expected to be complete by August 2008. The duration of the implementation is unknown at this time.

The SSMP Development Plan and Schedule are available for review at the Public Works Yard, 1201 West 4th Street, during normal business hours. Interested parties can contact Tom Sains at tsains@ci.antioch.ca.us for additional information.

Sanitary Sewer System Performance
Effective August 2007, the City will report SSO's electronically to the California Integrated Water Quality System (CIWQS). The electronic SSO data, as well as information regarding regulatory actions, is available at:

Clean Water Program (NPDES)
Our Clean Water Program maintains all area basins, storm channels, creeks, culverts and concrete lined “V” ditches in open space, that handle storm water run-off in the City of Antioch’s jurisdiction, in a safe and serviceable condition. Crews remove debris, illegally dumped trash, perform weed abatement and work associated with flood control and erosion control programs.
