Abstract
At the conclusion of a ten-year construction program which affected much of Seattle's combined sewer system, a computer-controlled 'total systems management' complex was proposed, funded and constructed. Computer augmented treatment and disposal (CATAD) takes advantage of storage in the sewers to limit overflows, and selects overflow points based on water quality data. Since the control system began operating in 1971, receiving water quality, especially dissolved oxygen and coliform levels, has shown significant improvement; overflow volume has decreased by 50 to 60% during supervisory control and in excess of 90% during three months of limited automatic control. Eight pollution loading parameters were measured and found to be 68% less than before advanced control techniques. Capital costs totaled $2.6 million for the control system.
