UC Riverside has developed and is implementing its Sanitary System Management Plan (SSMP) to properly manage, operate and maintain all parts of its sanitary sewer system. The SSMP will help prevent sanitary sewer overflows (SSOs) as well as mitigate andy SSOs that occur.

The public is invited to review and comment on the Sewer System Management Plan, June 2023 and 2024 UCR SSMP Triennial Audit Report.

To learn more about the Sanitary Sewer Overflow (SSO) Reduction Program, please visit the the State Water Resources Control Board SSO website.

Report a Sanitary Sewer Overflow on Campus

A sanitary sewer overflow (SSO) is any overflow, spill, release, discharge or diversion of untreated or partially treated wastewater from a sanitary sewer system into the environment prior to reaching sewage treatment facilities. SSOs can appear at sewer manholes or cleanouts.  

If you see a sanitary sewer overflow or sewage spill on campus, help UC Riverside protect the environment and public health by reporting it immediately to one of the following numbers:

To meet federal oil pollution prevention requirements, UCR is required to have a Spill Prevention, Control and Countermeasures Plan (SPCC Plan). The SPCC Plan sets forth preventive measures and response planning to assure that an oil spill from bulk or portable oil storage is contained and that countermeasures are established to prevent oil spills that could reach surface waters.
