One major effort is the so-called Albany Pool Communities Combined Sewer Overflow Long-Term Control Plan, basically a 15-year project by a consortium of six communities and two sewer districts formed by the planning commission to deal with the fact that in the region’s oldest sewer systems, raw sewage can find its way directly into the Hudson River without being treated first.
Albany CSO Pool Communities is a collaboration between the cities of Albany, Cohoes, Troy, Watervliet & Rensselaer and the Village of Green Island.
Improving the water quality of the Hudson River, guided by more than 50 Strategic Plans and Projects.
