Mainline Maintenance

Cleaning and closed circuit television inspection (CCTV) of over 321 miles of sewer pipeline ranging from 6”- 36” in diameter and 522 total miles of pipe (included with mainlines are laterals and pressure mains).  CCTV uses specialized audio-video equipment to inspect the inside of pipelines and identify defects or problem areas in the lines.  Then the lines are routinely cleaned using high velocity water cleaning (HVC) with a vacuum system for debris removal, along with specialized cleaning processes such as mechanical root cutting and chemical root treatments.  Maintenance also identifies lines that have potentially higher levels of grease and debris and accelerates the cleaning frequencies for grease removal in those areas

Pump Station Maintenance

Operation and maintenance of 50 sewer-pumping stations.  Force main maintenance is also part of the pump station maintenance program.  The pump station SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) monitoring occurs 24 hours per day, 365 days a year.  Current maintenance standards and practices include detailed tasks that are performed on a daily, weekly, monthly and annual basis.  Detailed annual maintenance standards are documented in the department’s maintenance plan.

STEP System Maintenance

Maintain the functionality of the 735 individual STEP systems.  These systems are located in the satellite areas of Meadow Glade, Hockinson, Van Ridge and South Ridge, and each has an individual pumping system that pumps into a community force main (pressure pipe).  The Maintenance department is responsible for the inspection of new construction systems in these areas, as well as maintenance, customer contact for property access and repairs of the existing STEP systems.

Engineering Assistance
