Innovations in Sewer Maintenance

Help keep your agency or client ahead of the curve and away from the EPA consent decree steamroller when it comes to the operation and maintenance of the sanitary sewer systems by becoming aware of recent innovations on the subject. 

Many agencies are at a crossroads when they look at their sewer systems. On the one hand, the federal agencies, such as the EPA, are issuing consent decrees for overflows at an accelerating rate; the funds that agencies have are shrinking and much of the experienced staff of these agencies are leaving the work force for a variety of reasons. As sewer systems continue to age, they are faced with higher loading rates, greater incidence of blockages and failures due to collapse. This live audio conference helps the people responsible for the planning, design, and operations and maintenance of sanitary sewer systems stay up-to-date on recent innovations in the field of sewer condition assessment, operation and maintenance. The program also explains the recent interest in looking at sanitary sewers in terms of asset management. Proactive measures in the areas of condition assessment, operation and maintenance of sanitary sewers will place the agencies or clients in a very strong position to respond to regulatory agencies should an incident occur.
