![]() ![]() This situation has been going on for decades, unresolved, and awaiting the MSD Study for direction on resolution. The existing houses on the south side of lower Spring Lawn have a creek in their rear yards that regularly floods during heavy rains, spreading the combination of contaminated sewer and storm water throughout their yards, and in some basements. Adding further sanitary and storm water loads to this flawed system, prior to the completion of the construction that corrects this environmental hazard, is only going to make the current unhealthy situation worse for all residents in the watershed, specifically the residents of Spring Lawn Avenue. The MSD website also states MSD is working with an outside consultant to do a study on this watershed that will not be completed until August of 2022, with the actual design for fixing this issue, nor the construction to resolve this issue, not even contemplated at that time. That is equivalent to all of the water in Sunlight Pool Cincinnati’s Old Coney Island being released every (6) days year after year. MSD states there are approximately 180,000,000 gallons of combined sewer overflow released in this watershed annually. Utilizing statistics that are directly taken from the MSD Website, there are (7) Combined Sewer Overflows (CSO) within this watershed, in very close proximity to the proposed development. The site for this development is within the Ludlow Run watershed in Cincinnati, OH. The existing combined sewer system they are proposing to connect to is severely flawed, and no further new development should be allowed to proceed until the existing conditions are corrected. The GP/NP proposed development is planned to have 40% impervious surfaces covering what is now primarily green space, and it would add sewage from 276 households.
