North Olmsted Completes $7.815M EQ Basin for Flood Relief
The new South Interceptor EQ Basin in North Olmsted, Ohio, aims to alleviate basement flooding for local residents. This $7.815 million project adds vital storage capacity to the sanitary sewer system, addressing long-standing infrastructure challenges in the area.

North Olmsted has completed the South Interceptor Equalization (EQ) Basin project, a $7.815 million initiative designed to enhance the local sanitary sewer system's capacity. The EQ basin will store overflow during significant storms and release it gradually to the wastewater treatment plant, thereby preventing basement flooding.
This addition follows previous infrastructure upgrades, including a 1.25-million-gallon tank in 2012 and a 650,000-gallon tank in 2013. The city is also evaluating future projects, especially regarding land recently acquired from local schools, to address ongoing infrastructure needs, including potential new EQ basins.
