Harlem River Park

Combined sewer overflows (CSOs) can occur in wet
weather when wastewater treatment plants and/or parts
of the sewer system fill to capacity with rain or snow.
To relieve pressure on the already filled to capacity
wastewater treatment system, the excess flow is forced
into the open waters of a river, bay or inlet. These
overflows can increase the number of harmful bacteria
and add other organic pollutants that consume dissolved
oxygen, which marine plants and animals need to survive.
CSOs also carry trash and litter washed from streets and
may contain toxic chemicals.
