Flow <br /> monitori g helps identify sewer line segments that require rehab and have <br /> high lev is of inflow and infiltration. Staff uses the information to target <br /> high-pri rity areas, invest capital rehabilitation dollars most cost <br /> effectiv ly, and focus preventative maintenance resources efficiently. <br /> Maintena ce workers Steve Stone and Red Smith are developing a procedure to <br /> more efficiently use television cameras to inspect the sewer line system. <br /> They are using a miniature tractor, which fits into the sewer line, to carry <br /> the tele ision camera. They are also using camera "pull lines" to clean the <br /> sewer pi e. These improvements allow the crew to monitor more of the system <br /> without ncreasing resources. <br /> A team o people from Maintenance's Wastewater Collection and Planning <br /> sections from Engineering, and from the Wastewater Treatment Plant are <br /> working n an integrated wastewater collection information system that will <br /> be used y Wastewater, Engineering, and Maintenance when completed. The <br /> computer zed systems will offer the three divisions a more accurate and <br /> efficien way of collecting and analyzing data. And, it will reduce <br /> paperwor improve cost analysis and scheduling, and enhance communication <br /> between he three divisions. <br /> Each of hese enhancements improves our ability to deliver cost-effective and <br /> efficien service to the public. <br /> Photo Outline: From left to right, Gene Hines, Don Schrouder, and Ken Boss <br /> check out the new fittings on the recently converted vactor <br /> combination machine. <br /> l <br /> <br />
