Midway Overflow Sewer. The trench in the foreground diverts the very small amount of dry-weather flow in the lower part of the Midway Combined Sewer to the High-Level Interceptor.
East Toronto and Midway Overflow Sewer
The East Toronto and Midway Overflow provides an overflow route for two significant combined sewers, the Midway sewer and the East Toronto sewer, along with some smaller combined pipes. It also takes stormwater from a modern RCP running beneath Coxwell Avenue, and has a vertical connection to another storm sewer that runs west of the old Main treatment plant site. This vertical shaft may provide additional overflow relief for the Midway arm.
