    • Method: Flow meters are installed at strategic points within the sewer network to collect data over time, allowing engineers to identify areas with abnormal flow patterns that may indicate I&I issues.
  2. Smoke Testing:
    • Purpose: To detect points of inflow and infiltration within the sewer system.
    • Method: Non-toxic smoke is blown into the sewer system through manholes. The smoke will exit through any defects, such as cracks, holes, or illegal connections, indicating where unwanted water is entering the system.
  3. CCTV Inspection:
    • Purpose: To visually inspect the interior of sewer pipes for structural defects, blockages, and other issues.
    • Method: A camera is sent through the sewer lines, capturing video footage that is later analyzed to identify cracks, root intrusions, sags, and other problems that could compromise the system’s performance.
  4. Dye Testing:
    • Purpose: To trace the sources of inflow and infiltration.
    • Method: Non-toxic dye is introduced into suspected inflow sources, such as downspouts or storm drains. The presence of dye in the sanitary sewer system confirms that these sources are improperly connected.
  5. Manhole Inspections:
    • Purpose: To assess the condition of manholes, which are critical access points for sewer maintenance.
    • Method: Each manhole is inspected for structural integrity, signs of inflow and infiltration, and the condition of manhole covers and frames.
  6. Hydraulic Modeling:
    • Purpose: To simulate the sewer system’s performance under various conditions.
    • Method: Data from flow monitoring and CCTV inspections are used to create a hydraulic model of the sewer network, which helps predict how the system will behave under different scenarios, such as heavy rainfall.

Importance of SSES

Identifying Inflow and Infiltration (I&I):

Inflow refers to rainwater or surface water that enters the sewer system through direct connections, while infiltration is groundwater that enters through cracks and leaks. Both contribute to excess flow in the sewer system, which can overwhelm treatment facilities and lead to overflows. SSES help to pinpoint the sources of I&I so they can be addressed.

Preventing Sewer Overflows:

By identifying and correcting issues that cause excessive flow or blockages, SSES help to prevent sanitary sewer overflows (SSOs), which can result in environmental contamination and public health risks.

Extending the Life of Sewer Infrastructure:

Regular evaluation and maintenance through SSES can significantly extend the lifespan of a sewer system by identifying issues early and preventing catastrophic failures that require costly emergency repairs.

Improving System Efficiency:

Addressing the issues identified in SSES can lead to more efficient operation of the sewer system, reducing the costs associated with treating excess water that should not be in the system in the first place.

Compliance with Environmental Regulations

Many municipalities are required to conduct SSES as part of their compliance with environmental regulations. By ensuring the sewer system is functioning properly, SSES help municipalities avoid fines and penalties related to non-compliance.

Supporting Capital Improvement Planning:

The data collected from SSES provide valuable insights for long-term planning and capital improvement programs. It helps municipalities prioritize repairs and upgrades, ensuring that resources are allocated effectively to maintain the system’s integrity.

Sanitary Sewer Evaluation Surveys are essential tools for maintaining the health and efficiency of a municipality’s sewer system. They provide the necessary data to identify, diagnose, and address issues before they escalate, helping to protect public health, the environment, and municipal budgets.
