Some city water treatment facilities combine storm water and sanitary sewage systems

During heavy storms, these treatment facilities may be overwhelmed with water, and untreated storm water mixes with sewage and flows directly back into the streams and rivers, where treated water usually returns. What might be the best way to address this problem? A) Not collecting rainwater in storm sewers and let it just accumulate on the roads
B) Collecting and treating storm sewer and sanitary sewage systems separately
C) Draining the sewage system onto a field near the stream or river
D) Using the excess sewer water as a source of water for the city
