Project Name: Emergency Sewer Repairs

Includes projects:

The Department’s Office of Linear Infrastructure Operations (OLIO) oversees all aspects of the sanitary and combined sewer collection system, drinking water distribution system, including raw water supply.

The Department is responsible for responding promptly to all linear sewer, storm, and water related service requests that are received through ATL311. Such requests consist of a variety of emergency conditions that pose a threat to public health and safety such as broken sewers lines, sewer cave- in/sinkholes, missing manhole lids, sewer spills (public and private), sewer main back-ups, catch-basin back-up, as well as storm sewer back-ups. The Department able to handle most of the requests received. However, there is a small percentage of requests that require more specialized equipment and repair methods that DWM personnel are unable to perform and the quantity that require immediate attention has accrued over the past months.

Justification:

• Provides enhanced response to emergency repairs and unexpected maintenance demand
• Enhances flow capacity of repaired sewers
• Reduces Infiltration/Inflow or extraneous flows into the sewer system
• Contributes to reductions in Sanitary Sewer Overflows
