Wastewater Plant Maintenance personnel, as available. The FY 05/06 Sewer <br />MaintenanceffMat&Supp line will have to be increased slightly to accommodate <br />miscellaneous increased repairs. One or more usable vehicles are e×pected to be <br />available as the landfill winds down. Some major contracted repairs (pipe liners, <br />manhole rehab, etc.) may be needed by FY 06/07 and will be included in the long term <br />Capital Expense program. <br /> <br />This is a long-term program. Gradual improvements will be monitored by pipeline flow <br />measurements in specific segments of the collector system, but obtaining meaningful data <br />will be challenging because of variations due to inconsistent rainfall, location of rain <br />(thunderstorms), ground saturation and time of year. Typically, several years may pass <br />before conclusive improvement can be demonstrated. The ultimate measure of success <br />would be to completely eliminate wastewater bypasses. <br /> <br />As information, I am providing the following relative to inflow reduction activities <br />underway in other communities. <br /> <br />Danville has continued an active program since 1993 after having consultants perform an <br />analysis of their 400 mile sewer system. They utilize up to ten employees with standard <br />and specialized internal pipeline repair equipment with an annual expenditure of about <br />one million dollars. They have realized significant improvement in specifically identified <br />problem areas, but also recognize there is more work needed. <br /> <br />Eden, in response to a Special Order issued by the State of North Carolina, has recently <br />had consultants perform an analysis of their system, has employed a three man dedicated <br />crew and will soon be commencing a three million dollar two year inflow reduction <br />program. This program involves only about 20 % of their system where major inflow <br />contributions have been identified. <br /> <br /> <br />
