Correcting Inflow & Infiltration in Sanitary Sewer Systems

 Published On Aug 7, 2023

It’s important to note that the purpose of sanitary sewers is to transport wastewater to treatment facilities. When water from external sources enters the system, it is classified as Inflow and infiltration (I/I). This inevitably leads to a decrease in sewer distribution and, as a result, diminishes the overall effectiveness of the wastewater treatment facility. This increased volume of waste can create significant issues. Our water resource engineers are highly skilled in discussing the importance of I/I and the effective methods to detect and eliminate the problem. We strongly recommend listening to Lindsay Beaman, P.E., Wes Farrand, P.E., and Amanda Rodell, EI, as they share their expertise.
