The tunnel system, started in 1982 and completed in 1991, cost a total of $700 million with state and federal grants providing most of the funding. A laser-guided tunnel boring machine, called a mole, bored tunnels anywhere from 10 to 16 feet in diameter. The tunnel systems prevent overflow with a "catch and store" system (as opposed to the "dump" system used prior to the building of the tunnel systems). During wet weather events, the excess water that the treatment plant could not handle is no longer sent to the Genesee River or Irondequoit Bay. The tunnels now catch the water and store it. When the storm is over and the plant is not treating it's full capacity, the water is sent to the plant and treated. Before the installation of the tunnel systems, there were an average of 40-70 overflow events per year.
