Don’t Just Monitor, Investigate.
Is your sewer network struggling with capacity issues, overflows, and soaring costs? You’re not alone. Inflow and Infiltration (I&I) are the silent saboteurs of wastewater systems, leading to a cascade of problems that affect not only your bottom line but also your reputation and the environment.
The Problem: More Than Just a Trickle
The symptoms of I&I are clear, but the cause is often hidden. You might be facing:
- Sanitary Sewer Overflows (SSOs): Public health risks and environmental damage.
- Lack of Network Capacity: Limiting future development and straining existing infrastructure.
- Skyrocketing Costs: Increased pumping and treatment expenses.
- Breach of Consent: Facing regulatory penalties and difficulty with renewals.
Beyond the immediate financial and operational headaches, I&I poses bigger, philosophical problems. We’re talking about beach closures, environmental degradation, and damage to your public reputation.
The Difficulty: Where Do You Even Start?
Finding the source of I&I is like finding a needle in a haystack. It’s an expensive, time-consuming process with many unknowns:
- How do you find the source? It could be anywhere in a vast network.
- What’s the most economic approach? Traditional methods are often inefficient.
- How do you deal with private drainage? It’s politically sensitive and hard to access.
- What about the 100% inspection myth? It’s simply not feasible to inspect and seal every single pipe.
