The District maintains 220 miles of gravity sewer mains ranging from 8-inches to 30-inches in diameter. There are approximately 4,650 sewer manholes within the system, which are used as access points for cleaning and inspection purposes.
An important part of the District’s responsibilities is systematic cleaning and closed circuit televising (CCTV) of the collection system to identify problem areas and see firsthand the effectiveness of the cleaning program. The District currently contracts out cleaning and CCTV maintenance work. Sewer mains are cleaned on either a one-year, two-year, or three-year cleaning cycle depending on the particular maintenance requirements.
There are 20 sewer pumping stations located within the collection system that are necessary to convey flow from low lying areas to higher elevations where the wastewater can again flow by gravity. The pumping stations have redundant pumping equipment and advanced telemetry that continuously reports to the headquarters. The District also has emergency standby generators and emergency standby bypass pumps as part of its emergency response equipment.
