The Susquehanna River Basin is the second largest - next to the Ohio River Basin -
east of the Mississippi River. The 444 miles of the Susquehanna drain 27,500 square
miles covering large parts of New York, Pennsylvania and Maryland before
emptying into the Chesapeake Bay. Two separate Susquehanna River
Basin watersheds drain portions of south-central New York State:
The Upper Susquehanna Watershed (discussed here) and the
Chemung River Watershed (addressed separately).

33. 26th Ward
The 26th Ward WWTP is undergoing plant stabilization and a BNR upgrade. During
construction, the secondary system continues to have the capacity to treat 127.5
mgd. Sufficient pumping capacity should be available to pump 170 mgd during wet
weather event. In the event that additional main sewage pumps are out of service, the
temporary discharge pumps (contractor’s pumps) can be utilized. These pumps have
a maximum capacity of 40 mgd. A site plan and a process flow diagram for the
upgraded facilities are presented in Figures 3-1 and 3-2, respectively.
