Challenges of the New Subdivision Flow Monitoring to Assess Performance of Inflow and Infiltration (I/I) Prevention
The innovative New Subdivision I/I Prevention Program has yielded great results for multiple municipalities when it comes to infiltration and inflow (I/I) reduction. That said, it doesn’t mean that the new subdivision I/I prevention plan is without its challenges. Let’s take a look at some of those challenges laid out in the flow monitoring plan. […]
An Overview of the New Subdivision Flow Monitoring to Assess Performance of Inflow and Infiltration (I/I) Prevention
All wastewater collection systems are designed to convey water to a designated point. They are meant to allow for a small amount of extraneous inflow and infiltration (I/I). But more often than not, there is higher I/I than anticipated and can present capacity issues to the sanitary sewers. That’s what makes new subdivision flow monitoring […]
