Background Information
Inflow and infiltration (I&I) are extraneous flows that enter the wastewater collection system and flow through to the Wastewater Treatment Plant. These flows reduce the capacity of the system and can lead to sanitary sewer overflows. Inflow occurs when stormwater enters the sewer system through flooding of the manholes and direct connections of stormwater to the wastewater collection system. Infiltration occurs when groundwater and stormwater enter into wastewater collection system as a result of physical defects such as cracked pipes, leaking manholes or deteriorated joints. Most of the I&I experienced by the City is a result of infiltration and this I&I Rehabilitation Project is designed to mitigate that infiltration. This Work Assignment for the I&I Rehabilitation Project includes wastewater cured in place lining, reinstatement of service lateral connections, and sealing service lateral connections in the Holiday Park area.
