A video camera is inserted into a piping
system through manholes then, entire sections of sewer can be video taped for
review to identify problems at exact locations for dig-up and repair. This
allows maintenance crews to repair leaking pipe joints that eliminate costly
inflow and infiltration (I & I) into the collection system.
In response to the improved capabilities to
identify Collection system problems the Public Works Department established a
sewer maintenance crew to initiate spot repairs to the sewer system.
The cornerstone of the Divisions
preventive maintenance program for the collection system is the jetting
activity. The Division has one high-pressure jetter called a Vac-con that
utilizes water pressure to score pipes of grit and grease. The debris is jetted
to a down stream manhole where it is vacuumed into the vehicles containment
body for disposal. This system approach eliminates the migration of debris in
the collections system by removing it during the pressure washing activity.
