Regular inspections, maintenance, and repairs are essential for reducing I&I. Implementing measures such as smoke testing and sealing defects can significantly improve system performance.
Smoke testing involves blowing non-toxic smoke into the sewer system. The smoke will escape through defects, indicating locations where inflow and infiltration are occurring.
Manhole inspections involve assessing the condition and functionality of manholes. They are important for detecting structural issues, blockages, and sources of I&I, ensuring the overall integrity of the sewer system.
Inflow and infiltration refer to unwanted water entering the sewer system from sources such as stormwater, groundwater, and defective pipes. This can overwhelm the system and lead to overflows and increased treatment costs.
This post emphasizes the importance of a comprehensive approach to infrastructure management, including monitoring, maintaining, and managing assets to ensure long-term reliability and performance.
