Sanitary Sewer Investigations
In an effort, to reduce and/or alleviate the basement flooding our residents
were plagued with in 2000, the City has undertaken a comprehensive sewer
investigation including: dye testing, smoke testing and video taping. It is our
hope that we can identify problem areas, which need attention and correct the
problems.
Sewer Slip Lining Program
Our City infrastructure is an average of 60+ years old. To stretch the life of
our Sewers, we employ a program of placing a slip lining into the sewer so that
we can lengthen the lifespan of the sewers by reinforcing them from the inside
out. This is an ongoing program to reinforce our sewers.
Watermain Replacement Program
Our Capital Improvements include a systematic replacement of City water mains.
The cost to replace all of our aging water mains at one time would be cost
prohibitive but we can begin a systematic replacement of our system, a little
at a time, thereby spreading out the total cost over a number of years. We
presently replace approximately $600,000 per year doing so.
