Spring 2023: MWSD Schedules Sewer Smoke Testing for Leaks and Illegally Connected Downspouts in order to Reduce INI and Costs

NEWSLETTER. From the Montara Water and Sanitary District (MWSD) December 2022/January 2023 newsletter.

 

Infiltration/Inflow (I/I) causes dilution in sanitary sewers. Dilution of sewage decreases the efficiency of treatment, and may cause sewage volumes to exceed design capacity. Although inflow is technically different from infiltration, it may be difficult to determine which is causing dilution problems in inaccessible sewers. The United States Environmental Protection Agency defines the term infiltration/inflow as combined contributions from both.[1]
