Proqram
utility Director Clifford Craig reported that the SSE/:II
Program was started in July 1986 to reduce the infiltration and inflow
of non-sewage water into the sanitary sewer system.
The testing was
only done in the public sector sewer lines at that time and the Board
would need to authorize going forward with the private or residential
sections. He advised that a sewer backup problem now exists in Penn
Forest.
Several residents affected by sewer backup problems in the
Penn Forest area were present at the work session.
He presented a
video showing the infiltration introduced into the sewer system by
improper connections with private property.
This is caused by such
sources as downspout connections to a sewer lateral, foundation drains
connected to a sewer lateral and sump pump discharge of ground water
into the sanitary sewer. I
Mr. Craig requested that the Board authorize the staff to begin
inspection of private facilities, and he asked for guidelines on the
