To obtain more profound knowledge of the municipal sewerage system the Municipality of Aalborg has carried out a registration project. Data from local damage control enterprises are used for registration of municipally sewered buildings which have been exposed to sewer surcharge incidents. The project has resulted in profound knowledge of where and to which extent water damages due to surcharge occur. In Aalborg, the knowledge acquired from the damage control enterprises\342\200\231 data is used in combination with computerized hydraulic models (MOUSE) and local rain gaugings. In this way the Municipality obtains improved knowledge of the functionality of its sewerage system. The Municipality of Aalborg has used the improved knowledge on problematic spots as to sewer surcharges to target information to citizens regarding sewer surcharge incidents and to give priority to municipal sewer rehabilitation works. Finally, the actual knowledge of problematic spots has been used in connection with verification of the computerized hydraulic models used when making hydraulic analyses of the municipal sewerage system.
