The Intiltration/Intlow study involved flow monitoring to identify 33 the areas of high tlows within the sewer system. The emphasis of the 34 Infiltration/Inflow study is on the sewer collection system needs, and addressing the 35 issues of mitigating sewer collection system overtlows. The study also examines s~ sewer pump station capacity needs, as well as evaluating potential impacts on how 3~ wastewater management systems may be reduced by implementing an aggressive 3s Infiltration/Inflow control program. Conclusions of the study are: 3~ - Excessive intiltration and intlows were identitied in tive ot the ten metered ao areas. ai - Excessive inYiltration is the cause of sewage backup and overflows in City streets a2 during large storms. Page 348, VoL 29 February Z0, 1996 i - The Infiltration/Int7ow control program will not have significant effect on the 2 new wastewater management system because it addresses only occasional peak s flows that comprise approxi-nately 10% of the total annual flows. a - Improvements to the main pond intluent pump station would eliminate sewer s overflows in all but the Lindberg Lane sewer basin. Pump station improvements 6 are estimated at $1.7 million. ~ - Expanded capacity in the Lindberg Lane sewer is more cost-effective than 8 extensive sewer rehabilitation. Estimated costs for the relief sewer is $1.7 9 million compared to an estimated $4.0 to $5.0 million for comprehensive io rehabilitation with the sewer Lindberg sub-basin. ii - An on-going program emphasizing preventative maintenance is important to i2 insure that capacity of the wastewater management system is not exceeded. ~3 KTOB RADIO TOW~R ~a Assistant City Manager Gene Beatty, presented to the Council his report on KTOB's is request to relocate their radio tower to a new site to provide better coverage.
