Sewer Inflow and Infiltration Study
Sewer Inflow and Infiltration Study
(OP)
I have been asked to help out with a low budget inflow and infiltration study for a sewer system. This means that we don't have money for sending a camera down sewer mains to find problems. But what we do have are several portable flow meters. We will also be monitoring pump run times at pump stations. Does anyone have advice on how to quickly identify sewer I & I problems so we can determine the best manholes to put our flow meters in?
Thank you,
Thank you,

You can also check the construction drawings and determine where the oldest sewers are located. The oldest sewers will probably be in the worst condition.
Prepare budget plans to repair X amount of sewers over X number of years. That is probably the only rational method to proceed. One would suspect that repair funds have not been available over the past years and major funds will not be available in the future.

FYI we just TV'd a sewer system for $1.40/ft...

When I saw it they were having to comply with EPA regs stipulated upon the utility. Past complaints of overflowing sewers during rain events. They were photographing insides of manholes and running cameras through all known problem sewers in order to determine problems and design fixes.
