Alexandria, VA to retrofit hundreds of manhole covers to slow stormwater runoff flows

The City of Alexandria is directing $750,000 toward a project that involves placing stainless steel inserts on 870 manhole covers to slow the rate at which stormwater overflows into the city's sanitation system during periods of heavy rainfall. The city has separate systems for stormwater and sanitation, but the latter serves as an overflow for excess precipitation and the setup can cause untreated wastewater to back up in residents' homes.
