The Sewer Line Maintenance section is responsible for safely transporting wastewater from the community and commerce to the wastewater treatment facility. The wastewater collection system is maintained to minimize service disruption, household backups and overflows into the environment. Public health and safety are the primary focus of this division along with employee safety and development.
As of July 2020 the collection system within the city consists of the following:
The Sewer Line Maintenance division consists of 20 full time employees. Maintenance is performed on the collection lines by hydro flushing main lines. Then it is followed by a (Closed Caption Television Video) CCTV inspection to verify cleanliness and find any potential problems. Crews performing preventative maintenance of the sewer main line can find potential problems such as root growth, broken main line, broken service line connections, sinkholes, inflow and infiltration (I&I), etc.
Crews are located in four quadrants to preform maintenance throughout the city. This also allows for quicker response times to any potential issues. Before we begin scheduled maintenance in an area we will leave written notice two days prior, if possible.
Sewer maintenance personnel are on duty from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM Monday through Friday, and are on call 24/7 to ensure quick responses to main breaks, sewer main stoppages, overflows, and lift station malfunctions.
Sewer Line Maintenance Crew Assignments:
The city has allocated a Sewer Maintenance Project (SMP) fund to help reduce and eliminate any substandard clay tile and problem collection lines that we still have in our collection system. Additionally, Duke’s Root Control comes out once a year to chemically treat public sewer mains to eliminate root growth from lateral and collection lines.
