Public Involvement

Public acceptance is one of three key goals in the Clean Solutions for Omaha study program.

In order to achieve a balance between the extensive engineering aspects of the combined sewer overflow study and the community’s priorities the City is working to engage and inform the public.

Over 140 volunteers have been serving on a Community Basin Panel (CBP) or one of 10 Basin Advisory Panels (BAP). There is a Basin Advisory Panel for each of the areas directly impacted by the study. These panels have been meeting regularly since September of 2006. The BAP meetings are posted on the public website calendar and are open to the public.

These panels were established to:
• Provide stakeholder input to the City and its engineering consultants
• Distribute information to individuals and organizations city wide and within the individual basins
• Solicit input from the public and constituents in their basin areas for the decision making
