ANNUAL SEWER MAIN VIDEO

DESCRIPTION:

The best management practice for sewer system maintenance is to video the entire system once every five years, and is included in the 2005 Sewer Master Plan. The purpose of the project is to assess the condition of a portion of the system and modify our maintenance and capital programs as required to remediate problem areas and minimize the likelihood of main line stoppages.


COST SUMMARY:
Design and Construction $ 343,000

POTENTIAL FUNDING SOURCES:
Sewer Enterprise Fund $ 343,000

IMPACT ON ANNUAL MAINTENANCE AND OPERATION COSTS:
To the extent that this project will assess the overall condition of the city’s sewer system, which would eventually lead to repairs, there will be a lessening of sewer backups.

ALTERNATIVES:
An alternative is to delay the inspection. This would delay the assessment of the actual condition of the system.
